Period. Search is over. - My new ESXI Edge build is complete! First time to build a 2U Server Chassis, I primarily build 4U Servers, but this was one of my favorite builds so far. I want to tell you a few things what not to do or buy. #1. Don't buy the Noctua NH-L12Sx77 cpu cooler, it's too high; about 7mm too high. I had to return it and get the Noctua NH-L12S instead. It is the perfect CPU cooler for this case. #2. Do not use a non-modular PSU. I originally was going to re-use a Corsair PSU I had laying around; but this case doesn't have a lot of room. The less the better. #3. Upgrade your case fans immediately. Also, pull out the mesh air filter, it causes less optimal air flow. This case is solid and the quality close to Silverstone, which is my go to with server chassis builds. It's not flimsy and comes with all the screws and even NVME screws you're going to need for a build. I thought that was a nice touch. #4. If you don't need the smaller HD brackets, pull them out and use the screw mounting holes for cable management. drill a small hole through a velco strip and secure it to the case. Less clutter = better air flow. I'm using this for a ESXI 7 host, with my Router/Firewall as a VM, and then Windows 2022 Server as a VM, which is acting as a DHCP Server, DNS, NFS Filer Server (NAS like), and some other small work tasks I need from my home lab. I'm extremely happy with this build so far. With the parts list below; this is running smooth and quiet. It looks great from the front too.

Power Zone 2 750W Review: Decent at this price point. - This is not a bad case to build in, especially if you use a Mini-ITX motherboard and an SFX power supply. Be careful of sharp edges. I am using it to relocate my home theater PC into an AV rack-mounted cabinet in my living room. The 2U size is ideal, but quiet and cooling are a priority. I had to swap in a low-profile Noctua NH-L9x65 CPU cooler, with fits perfectly. As many reviewers have pointed out, the stock 3-pin fans are too noisy for this use case. I replaced them immediately with four Noctua NF R8 Redux 1800 rpm PWM virtually silent ones, even at full speed and with the foam filter removed. Other than that, I made no changes except putting some 2.5" drive adaptors in places and adding hi-flow filters on the back of the Noctua with rubber pins for easy removal. System specs: Intel i9-13900T CPU, 128GB DDR5 RAM. I have two 3.5' mechanical HDD, five SATA 2.5" SSD, two NVME SSD, and room for up to two more 3.5" and a 2.5" (or up to five more 2.5"), although the current board and SATA expansion card can only support two more SATA drives. Total storage space is 84TB, so another reason cooling is a priority. CPU Core is averaging 56 degrees Celsius under load (watching a 4K Dolby Atmos movie), but CPU socket is about 44 and the MOS fan hasn't kicked in at all. Under a 100% stress test the CPU throttled at 99 degrees, but the fans were still almost inaudible even with everything at full speed. Overall, the only thing I've noticed is some vibration from the HDD transferring to the top panel, but I plan to place a small piece of acoustic insulation between the drive and the panel. Bottom line: This should turn out well-suited for my use, and the price is great even after replacing the fans and CPU cooler. ## Features - M/B size: Micro-ATX 9.6 x 9.6 / mini-itx 6.7 x 6.7 - Supports standard ATX power supply with any fan type (120mm or 80mm both OK) - Internal Bays: 7x3.5" Drive Bays or 6x3.5"+1x2.5" - Material: Front Bezel+ handle Aluminum; Main Chassis- Zinc-Coated Steel - 2 x front access USB 3.0 (compatible with USB2.0) - case type: rack mount - 2U rackmount chassis depth 15.75β€œ (not includel handel) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CH3JXKZF | | Antenna Location | Business | | Best Sellers Rank | #186 in Computer Cases | | Brand | rackchoice | | Case Type | Tower | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX motherboards, ATX power supply, 3.5" storage drives | | Cooling Method | Air | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 83 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Alloy Steel Aluminium | | Fan Size | 80 Millimeters | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Internal Bays Quantity | 9 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 15.75"D x 19"W x 3.5"H | | Item Weight | 15.4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Rackchoice | | Material | Alloy Steel Aluminium | | Model Name | Rackchoice | | Motherboard Compatability | Micro ATX | | Number of Fans | 8 | | Other Special Features of the Product | top or side cooling | | Power Supply Mounting Type | Rear Mount | | Recommended Uses For Product | Business | | Supported Motherboard | Micro ATX | | Total Expansion Slots Quantity | 5 | | Total USB 2.0 Ports | 2 | | Total USB 3.0 Ports | 2 | | Total Usb Ports | 2 | | UPC | 787996912073 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** rackchoice - **Case Type:** Tower - **Color:** Black - **Cooling Method:** Air - **Fan Size:** 80 Millimeters - **Material:** Alloy Steel Aluminium - **Model Name:** Rackchoice - **Motherboard Compatability:** Micro ATX - **Power Supply Mounting Type:** Rear Mount - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Business ## Images ![RackChoice Server case MicroATX/Mini-ITX 2U Rackmount Server Chassis max 7x3.5 Bay / USB3.0 with 2.0 Adapter Support ATX PSU Either top or Side Cooling Depth 15.7" - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+b1Zrd7WL.jpg) ![RackChoice Server case MicroATX/Mini-ITX 2U Rackmount Server Chassis max 7x3.5 Bay / USB3.0 with 2.0 Adapter Support ATX PSU Either top or Side Cooling Depth 15.7" - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61j7ObJiATL.jpg) ![RackChoice Server case MicroATX/Mini-ITX 2U Rackmount Server Chassis max 7x3.5 Bay / USB3.0 with 2.0 Adapter Support ATX PSU Either top or Side Cooling Depth 15.7" - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61HUZtjiZ0L.jpg) ![RackChoice Server case MicroATX/Mini-ITX 2U Rackmount Server Chassis max 7x3.5 Bay / USB3.0 with 2.0 Adapter Support ATX PSU Either top or Side Cooling Depth 15.7" - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81O1JfJddQL.jpg) ![RackChoice Server case MicroATX/Mini-ITX 2U Rackmount Server Chassis max 7x3.5 Bay / USB3.0 with 2.0 Adapter Support ATX PSU Either top or Side Cooling Depth 15.7" - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hCyOwxMXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best 2U case for the money..

The construction is high quality. I initially had some concerns as it was a bit wobbly sitting out on the table, but once mounted inside the rack there was no sagging or movement at all. I replace the included (very loud) fans with Noctuas and the device is practically silent. The HDDs make the most noise out of everything. One maybe important thing, the case may be too deep for some equipment racks. I have a Tripp Lite 6U rack, and this case sticks out maybe 1-1.5 inches, meaning I would not be able to wall mount the rack. I can live without doing that, though I had planned on doing so in the future at some point. Just pointing this out. ## Frequently Bought Together - RackChoice MicroATX/Mini-ITX 2U Rackmount Server Chassis max 7x3.5 Bay / USB3.0 with 2.0 Adapter Support ATX PSU Either top or Side Cooling Depth 15.7" Black - Noctua NF-A8 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (80mm, Brown) - Noctua NH-L9x65, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler (65mm, Brown) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/575555999-rackchoice-server-case-microatx-mini-itx-2u-rackmount-server-chassis](https://www.desertcart.at/products/575555999-rackchoice-server-case-microatx-mini-itx-2u-rackmount-server-chassis) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
