I had purchased an older RSV-L4500, was happy enough with the chassis for my needs and wanted to transfer 3 other computers to my rack so purchased 3 of the new RSV-L4500U. First off the only difference is that the new variant has usb 3 on the front and the body of the shell is no longer painted black. Here is where the case falls a bit short. The case is just a little too high, so in my 42U rack I have 4 of them right in a row and they drag on each other. I tried adjusting the heights of the rails a little bit to let them slide in and out, no luck. I eventually had to leave a small space in between each unit. Second is the fans, they are Molex, i'd like them to supply 3 or 4 pin PWM fans or just supply the case with no fans and a lower price. And finally i want to touch on the plastic retaining panel that holds the filter in place. It takes 4 screws to remove it an get to the filter which is easy enough but I feel like they could have made the plastic cage just clip in without screws and made for a more user-friendly experience. Also the openings in the plastic cage are rather small and do block airflow. Your options are to take the door off, leave the filter and retaining panel out, or drill additional holes in the plastic to provide better air flow. Other than those things I am happy with the chassis.Read full review

Large, roomy, fans included which are silent.. but include flimsy garbage molex connectors. Never seen anything so cheap. Top is held by silly little miniature screws. Seriously? For a server grade chassis? Who makes decisions like this?! But overall, okay for the price.

I liked this case because it had enough room for all my hard drives, along with plenty leftover space for extra fans and cable management. The pro of this case having so much room was also my only con, as my standard cables I bought aren't long enough to connect to the drives at the front without a snug pull. I don't like the idea of my cables installed with such tension. Also, front USB could be 3.0

Ok, I have built all 4 of my servers using this case. 15x 3.5" hard drives, room for an EATX Motherboards and most 92mm air coolers. You can modify it a bit to fit both 120mm and 240mm AIO water coolers. It has 13x 5.25" bays, so it makes a great CD/DVD/BD duplicator or ripper. The only down side is the front locking air filter is a bit hard to clean. The only way I can safely clean it is by vacuum. To install drives you will have to remove the fan bar, which can have sharp edges. For ultra quite home use, I would recommend replacing the good, but basic fans with something better, but for general office use they are acceptable.

I bought this case with aim of consolidating one of My mining rigs. Already knew that there were some needed modifications to allow it to handle 6-7 GPUs. The front bays aren't needed at all. From there one has to create/fab a GPU mount. I used some thin aluminum bars from Home Depot. The central triple fan mount also has to be relocated. I decided to move it close to the mother board mount and utilize the makeshift GPU mount I created to also have it sit on. For reference so used 3x EVGA 1070 GTX SCs and 3x ASUS 1070 Dual. All 6 fit in there with room for a 7th. I also ended up using 140mm fans vice the 120mm ones for the front. I removed all the control wiring on the right side since the 140s take up space. I've had it running for a day now. No issues except for heat as usual. I would not recommend keeping the stock 120mm at all. They're rated around 43 or so cfm. I'm looking to upgrade them to something that pushes double that along with 140s that push at least 80cfm or so. The best thing about converting from an open air Mining Rig to this case is the amount of space one saves. Plus it's easier on the eyes. Read full review
