NORCO RPC-170 1U Rack mount Server Chassis (Black)
T**T
It's ok.
I bought this in order to have a firewall in my rack. It was a good price and seemed to be small enough for what I wanted to do. I tried putting it into my rack (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004OB8T72) with rails and it was the toughest thing to shove in there. It won't roll out at all. I don't necessarily need it to but it is still a determent. The rails were the hardest things to get onto this chassis too. The rails weren't really the problem but the construction of the mounts on the side of the chassis.The top can be a bit tough to fit back on if you don't get it right.Pros:-It is a 1U case that you can stick anything small into.-Easy to install hardware.Cons:-The lights on the front can be extremely bright. While this isn't usually a concern just keep it in mind that if you turn the lights out it can be super bright.-Fans are super loud but it is a server so you just deal with it.If I were to shop for another 1U chassis I would probably do a bit more shopping around rather than return to this product.EDIT:Also, don't purchase their NORCO heavy duty rails for this either. They have a tendency to warp inwards after awhile and cause a slider to get caught on the side so you can't pull it out. Note, this hasn't influenced my rating of this product but seeing how it would be a fairly common addon, I thought I would add the warning to any purchasers.
