Inter-Tech IPC 4U-4416 server case
From CaveLab
Inter-Tech IPC 4U-4416 mounted in homelab rack
- Size
- 4U, 688mm
- Manufacturer
- Inter-Tech
Computers with this case
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?!
