DARKROCK Classico Max Storage Master E-ATX Computer Case with 4x120mm Black Fans, 10x3.5 HDD + 3x2.5 SSD USB 3.0 Ready, 360mm Radiator Supported, Vertical GPU Slots - Black

This is fab. The delivery took a long time but they made up for it. Cable management is good, lots of places to put them and tie them too. I think it looks great, the big grills give loads of space for airflow. The temps are down about 20c from my last case on the cpu and 10c on the drives. (Storage server). Great value for money at £70, I bought it at £123 and even then I think it is still fab. 12 drives for that little money is great. I do wonder if it really will be able to fit 12x 3.5" drives as one of the bays looks like it might be a tight fit if all the front bays are installed. Unfortunately I have not tried it. It probably is possible to just push the front bay up a bit to put the drive in. Just worth knowing it would need to be a thinner 3.5" drive instead of of one of the thicker style. It also does have 2x 2.5" drive bays aswell. Edit: Just read the listing and they updated it from 12HDDs to 13 drives. That includes ssds. I agree that all the drives will fit how they have specified. My case came with 2 hdd mounts for on the inside underneath the motherboard and just under the big stack of drives. (not in the basement part though). The drive under the mobo fits fine but the one under the stack of drives won't fit unless you have a very thin 3.5" drive (none of mine have fitted so far). This being said, I have now got 14 drives in my case. 12 HDDs and 2 SSDs, the 2 ssds are on the back of the mobo. The hdds are in all their designated slots and one is under the mobo in the little tray it came with. I managed to put 2 screws into a drive above the 2 near the psu (where it says to put an SSD, you are able to put both, only 2 screws for the HDD but I think it should be fine as it isn't going to be shaking around and it is flat anyway so I doubt it will move. Still a fantastic case, I'm going to order some 140mm fans for the front so that they all get a bit more airflow as they idled around 30-35c with 10 drives but now I've added the extra 4 hdds I suspect it might get a little toasty. I also want to test how much of a difference 140mm fans make. I would still highly recommend this case, it is nice to build in as well as easy. Feels high quality. Would buy again. (Shouldn't as I don't need another NAS however, this one is now full😂😂) Excuse the dust in the photos, the server has been built for quite a while now.

Mostly everything about this case is pretty good, it's well ventilated and having the HDD connectors pointing to the rear eliminates cable clutter over the motherboard. The only downside is that, because there are no supplied HDD cradles, each bay has to be unscrewed before HDDs can be secured in place with screws, and of course you have to then screw the bay back in place. Additionally there are a couple of bars across the cage in two places, which makes connecting fiddly. But all up a decent case with lots of HDD capacity.

This case provides everything I was looking for, especially at this price point. I'm coming from a smaller NAS enclosure that became very crowded and restricted airflow. This chassis offers plenty of space for cable management and can hold up to 10 (possibly even 11) hard drives if you place one on top of the bottom drive. I currently have 6 HDDs and 1 SSD installed, and there's still plenty of room to grow. With seven fans running, the temperatures for each drive and the processor stay around 30°C, which is impressive. This is my first time building inside a tower-style case, and the experience was much easier than working with smaller cube-style NAS enclosures. The build quality feels durable, and while I don't have much to compare it to, I'm genuinely happy with it. If you're looking for a chassis that can hold several drives and still maintain great airflow, this is a solid choice. I'm fairly new to building PCs and servers, but after a year of learning, I can confidently say I wish I had started with this unit from the beginning.

Works fine, lots of HD space but it could be designed so the drives go in the other way so it's easier to remove. Also not a ton of space for the power/sata cables on right side of the case. it could be offset another 1/2 inch to make things easier.

Una opción muy buena para un NAS o almacenamiento extra para algún proyecto personal o homelab, tamaño adecuado para tarjetas hasta ATX , las EATX ya no caben a menos que se retire el almacenamiento. 3 ventiladores frontales hacen de este gabinete un complemento ideal para refrigerar todo el hardware y con espacio adicional para ventiladores extra

WOW! absolutely pleased with this case. At first I was looking for something more budget friendly for me but I pulled the trigger on this one because of the features listed, particularly expandability and vertical PCI card support. I'm pleased to say I was not disappointed. the amount of drives you can put in this thing is insane, very thoughtful design, cable and drives can actually breath. Comes with 3 fans on front, one at the back and mesh ventilation on top.. The Absolute NAS chassis. I fitted my mATX x9scl board and I couldn't be happier for the future. Definitely recommend if you have a server or if you are thinking of building a workstation. Cable management option is great with room for the cables when you close the panel, and I was very surprised when I plugged in this thing, the silence was sweet. Also, the cage design for the drives is amazing, very compartmentalized, sturdy, makes sense. The drives stay secure and its actually very satisfying to add or remove them.. In a very odd way to me Lol.
