Computers with this case

• Zeta

Pros

• Lots of space!
• 5x120mm fans included.
• Center fans are hot swappable.
• 2x4 2.5" disk bays.
• Was able to replace the stock fans with Noctua.

Cons

• Stock fans are loud (but move a lot of air).
• The 5.25 rail mechanism feels a bit cheap and flimsy.
• Had a hard time attaching 2x80mm Noctua fans. Had to grind off a screw mount on the case and modify one of the Noctua fans.
• Break-away expansion slot cover plates.
• The backplane felt slightly misaligned on the right side, disk did not go in as smooth as I would have liked.
  • I was able to fix this by loosening the backplanes, and re-tighten while the drives were installed.
• Screws for mounting drives in the trays are really short.
• Found a loose part in one of the drive trays?!
