PLINKUSA RACKBUY 4U (Front Access)(2x5.25+6x3.5 HD)(14" Deep)(ATX/Micro-ATX/Mini ITX) Rackmount Chassis(NO Power Supply, No Rail,No System and Case Only) IPC-E420F

I recently redid my lab, and ended up rack-mounting nearly everything. My main computer lived in a Big AV Case for a Long Time, but it was always taken apart laying on its side, so I could access the lovely guts within.This is one of the few front-access cases I could find, and, yeah, it has some limitations, but it doesn't even come close to getting a 1-star review. I transplanted all of the Guts from my Big AV case I was using into this case, with no problem, in about 30 minutes. The drive cage comes out so you can mount the drives next to the power supply. It is tight back there, as the back of the case bends in where the power supply enters. If i had all 3.5" disks, this would have been a tight fit with my Big Power Supply, since the PS cables protrude into where the drives mount.However, all my storage are 2.5" SSDs on adapters, which aren't nearly as long as 3.5" disks. I could probably fit ten of those things in here, and still have room to spare. The 5 1/4" bays are bottom mount only (ie, no screws in the side), and it is a bit tough to get to the connectors and stuff. If you swap 5 1/4" devices all the time, this is probably not for you, as unless you've very clever with cables, you've gotta take the motherboard out to get to the access holes on the top of the 5 1/4" drive bays.That all being said, it's pretty standard PC case build quality.. The slots all line up, the screws it comes with are pretty handy, and it's got plenty of fans.I've got Full Height video cards in mine that stick out the top of the case, but that's not a problem, since I never intended on putting the lid on this anyways. Directly above this machine I have a rack shelf that holds Extra Stuff (such as disks to image or whatever) that is the reason for having the case apart in the first place.Anyways, if you need a front access case with plenty of room for activities, this is probably the best person for you.

This rack beat all expectations. I was able to transfer a system from an old tower configuration to the new case in less than 30 minutes. No holes had to be drilled and the design was thoughtfully executed. I was able to integrate a DVD writer, 2 hard drives and a removable drive carriage. The only thing missing was a speaker that i was able to add by removing the speaker from the tower. There is plenty of additional space for additional drives and cards.Super easy, a bit pricey but worth it.

PLINKUSA has been making this case-like box for a while. I reviewed their original listing here:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYEO8TW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Instead of fixing any of the glaring design faults that make this case virtually impossible to build a PC in, they delisted the original then relisted it at a higher price. Same description, same images, same name, $10 higher price. Make no mistake, THIS CASE DOESN'T WORK. There is no clearance, there is no way to securely mount ANY drives, there is no space between the PSU mount point and motherboard for SATA plugs, there is no access to the lower level where the 5.25" drives sit nor is there anything to actually attach the drives to... the list goes on. Save your money.
