Inter-Tech 88887191 Case IPC Storage 4U-4408, o.PSU, Black, Silver

This case is very mediocre with a few sharp edges, unfinished build and protective plastic film on most panels that needs to be removed sometimes requiring disassembly as well as design flaws like the awkward access to the front fans and them requiring non standard fan screws.The front plastic handles are mostly obscured by a large front flange giving a gap of just under an inch to get your fingers though, so this is ok for helping extracting the unit from its rack but there more there for novelty then useful after that.The plastic caddies from the drives don't feel to well designed with them sometimes binding in the ports and taking a few attempts to insert/remove. The backplane requires two mini sas cables (not supplied).On the positive side this case has huge potential for modification. I was happy to find that the font handles can be removed and placed at the back of the case so it can be reverse mounted in a rack giving full access to the rear connections (a tiny square of metal needs removing on the lid on both sides to have it sit flat). The lid can be opened with just 2 press down clips and is in 2 halfs with only the area above the motherboard can be opened with the front section housing the backplane riveted to the case.In short, this case would be fine around the 100 - 130 pound price range and should be seen more for a prosumer / hobbyist then anything too serious but looks good and plenty of potential for modification.

Decent quality metal however item arrived covered in plastic most of which can't be removed around the edges as it appears the case was put together with the plastic wrap still on. Over priced but does the job.Additionally when it arrived a zip lock bag of accessories was just sitting lose in the case. The bag should have alteast been zip tied to the side or outside the case as there is a risk of something getting broken from that bag slamming around in shipping.

Really well built with awesome features! Only bad point is that one of the LED indicators on one of the drive bays has now faded & doesn't always work but this does effect the functionality at all, overall great case for a short rack!
