In terms of the build quality I'm gonna go over a few things that stood out The hard drive bays. I have 7 hard drives installed even though and I could put more there is no way this can hold 12 drives. The actual bay sits right in front of where the USB port cables come out of and if there's a 3.5in drive in front of it, it directly collides with the cables making it impossible to seat a drive into that spot so I have to keep the bay in front of the USBs empty. Second of all, the entire drive bay bracket does not come out of the case very easily, I have to sort of bend the entire case just to get the drive bay bracket out and because of how tight it sits against the usb cables I often have to bend the case a bit to get the mounting holes to line up. Build quality. For a budget rack mount style case I will say it could be a lot worse but it's not bad overall. I do wish however it could've been a little bit longer since after putting everything in, I've come to realize how claustrophobic everything is inside, especially when taking into considerations for airflow, thankfully the two 80mm fan spots in the rear make a big difference for the internal thermals but the singular front fan seems to be slightly restricted by the foam filter which isn't too terrible to clean but case in point (no pun intended) I do wish this was slightly longer. Internal layout. If you intend to put a dvd drive or 2 hot swapable 3.5in drives on the front you're gonna end up sacrificing 5 drive slots out of the 12 so at that point I wouldn't even do so and just vertically mount the potential 5 drives in the right side of the case instead of the latter. I do like that regular ATX sized parts including the PSU and MOBO fit inside just fine and even with room for my single fan 4060. However there's one major downside I've noticed that I really don't like. It's the PCIe slots. They're breakaway covers that can't be placed back and you have to snap them off in order to slot anything on the motherboard so pick very carefully what you're gonna plug into your motherboard because you're not get that PCIe cover back. Overall the case is OKAY, its fine for a budget option to start off with if you're going with something simple but I would personally bite the bullet and spend a little extra more for something of higher quality and reputation than settle for something that will probably need some extensive modifications to make it easier to work with.
