DARKROCK Classico Storage Master ATX NAS Computer Case with 4x120mm Fans | USB 3.0 Ready 10 x3.5'' HDD+3 x2.5'' SDD 360mm Supported on Top & Front Radiator GPU Vertically Mounting

I bought this case as for a home NAS and Plex server. Honestly this is a pretty great case! Cons: The metal is a little thin and sharp in areas. But over all nothing that I haven't seen before in lower price point cases. Pros: I mean where to start, for the price this case is really a great case! Perfect for a sever or NAS. "Officially" it holds 12 3.5 drives, and 2 2.5 drives. Unofficially (with the help of a 3D printer) you can easily fit a LOT more 2.5 drives in and up to 4 more 3.5 drives. It has lots of room for a large power supply, full size ATX motherboard, as well as a full size graphics card. The fans it comes with are nice and quiet and move plenty of air. It looks really good for a case you're probably going to hind in a closet or under a desk. It has a great front panel. It's SUPER easy to build in, and has lots of area for cable management. It comes with more than enough hardware and screws. This is the PERFECT case for a budget server build that looks like you spent a lot more on it then you did. Honestly Darkrock keep up that great work!

Excellent NAS case - versatile mounting options, many studs to mount zip ties, etc. for cable management, great price. I'm using it as a TrueNAS enclosure with 8 drives and it is far quieter and maintains lower temps than my old Dell server. Minor cons are the metal is a bit flimsy - which based on the price is to be expected, and some sharp edges.

Purchased to use as a data server to replace the 20 year old case I had with more hard drives than spots to mount them. Likes: 10 3.5 inch drive capacity which is difficult to find, simple construction, frugal price compared to others. Dislike: Basically just the tight cable routing fit with standard SATA cables. Only 1 SATA power cable supplied, not 2 as implied in the video, also it is not a 90 degree connector which is not the best for the tight fit of this case. Closing the sides is a tight fit with standard SATA power cables on my PS, but manageable with careful placement of the cables. Right angle adapter SATA power cables are very recommended if you have standard ones. While standard SATA data connectors worked more easily, right angle ones would be better there also. Minor issue: The IO shield for the ASUS MB did not quite fit, but I managed. Wish it had: There is enough room in the case that a 5.25 inch mount could be fitted as an option with a different configuration, but that is not done. But I can deal as I already have an external optical drive. All in all, good quality, 9:10 for design, an advance recommendation for right-angle SATA cables in the description would be welcome, but well worth the $90 compared to what else is around.

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.

5 ⭐ Love the case. Even though it is a mid size case. I can't complain for the price. You definitely get your bang for the buck on this one. It does have all the storage space it says it has. I have 12 HDDs I crammed into this thing for my old server setup. So having enough slots for HDDs was my main priority. I did go from an OLD Cooler Master Full Size ( All Beat to Hell ) Tower. So cramming everything into this mid size tower was a serious chore. Suggestions: Go with a fully modular PSU if you intend to build in this case. I still have my old Thermaltake 750w running this thing. And it is not modular by any means. It was probably the hardest thing to do in this build whereas I had issues trying to cable manage it. And the back panel doesn't give you a lot of leeway for room to close the gap. Spaghetti style PSUs are a thing of the past. So go with a fully modular PSU. Other Thoughts: It does come with 4 fans. So that was a plus. This build was for a server anyways so no RGB was necessary. And it will be sitting in my basement regardless. Out of sight out of mind. Other Other Thoughts: Air flow is fantastic. The CFMs for the front fans were set at Maximum when I fired up my software for fan controls. I set my curvature and temperature gauges so my HDDs never see temps over 32C. Being in the basement it is always nice and cold anyways. But this case definitely has excellent air flow. Little incense stick showed me where the air was flowing and nothing was coming out of the chimney. Straight in and straight out the back. The 3 fans in the front covered all 8 HDDs in the front. Which are my main storage drives. Final Thoughts: If your looking for a decent low price budget mid Tower this is the one. Super easy to build in and excellent airflow all around. There was one complaint I have and that there was not enough HDD screws available for all my HDDs. They came up short. Thankfully I build computers for a living so I always have plenty of them in my storage bins.

Great for a PLEX server. I bought this case for the large amount of hard disk spaces, I have a PLEX server and its been growing over the years to the point that I have external hard drives all over the place. I was considering investing in cloud or local storage which is very expensive for a hobby that doesn't make me any money, until I found this case, I ended up changin my server to this case and opened all my externad drives to install them into the case. Great value compared to other large data solutions.

I like this case — for the price, it’s cheap, durable, and functional. Pros: - Supports plenty of HDD space — I was able to install 4 HDDs without issue. - The four included fans are strong and quiet. - Comes with a fan splitter and two right-angle SATA cables (about 14 inches long). - The price is right. It’s made from thin metal, but it's sturdy enough for my needs. Cons: - Maintenance isn't easy — adding or removing HDDs requires removing both side panels and the HDD cage. - Side panels are difficult to screw in when the case is standing vertically; it needs to be laid flat for proper alignment. - Thumb screws don’t work well — you’ll likely need a screwdriver. - The power and reset buttons are too easy to press accidentally. Moving the case almost guarantees an unintended press. - The rubber feet are held by plastic clips rather than screws, and they’re prone to breaking when removed. - The case is bulky with no handholds, making it difficult to move when fully loaded. - Despite its size, internal cable management is tight — routing cables cleanly can be a challenge.

This thing is huge! It's pretty good, I was not able to find very many options for storage focused PC cases outside of a prebuilt NAS or actual server. Very easy to build into, lots of space, good cable management, pre installed fans with a triple splitter, room for a 360 radiator. PSU area has plenty of space for when you realize you *did* actually need that second PCIe mod cable but everything else is already installed... Couple issues worth noting, it is designed for 3.5" drives only, you cannot install 2.5" in those 10x bays. There are holes drilled in the top of each bay that will hold 5x drives, but they are too far from the edge for cables to fit. There are 2.5" carriages behind and under the motherboard if you only need a few. Also the vertical PCI slot blanks don't fit over the top horizontal slot screw and I had to remove it.

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 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.

Definitivamente sirve muy bien para lo que es tener la ventana de montar tantos hdd sin problema lo recomiendo solamente es muy ampleo el gabinete no sufrí al pasar los cables como otros comentarios pero también compré cables en serie

It's not the easiest case to work with, especially if you need to replace components. That being said, for the money it's a great case for a decent home server. I am very happy with it!

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.
