Pretty Great
Good balance between price/quality.- Fans are 80mm and plug into the molex connectors from the PSU. They are constant speed so you'll want to swap them out.- There is no side vent for the PSU. You could buy a PSU with a rear exhaust but I couldn't find one from a reputable company. Instead, I got a SFX PSU (specifically the Silverstone ST30SF V2) which is smaller than an ATX PSU and using an adapter bracket to attach it to the ATX-sized PSU mount it sits elevated which allows the air to flow.- The metal edges are unfinished and sharp.- I used the iStar TC-RAIL-20 20-Inch Sliding Rail Kit.

SPECTACULAR!
Better quality components than most. Thicker metal, precision threaded bosses & holes, high quality screws. Lacks USB-C. Excellently positioned drive bays, power supply mount etc.BRUSHLESS FANS.I loaded it up with:- 5.25" full-sized BD writer- 4 3.5" drives- mini-ITX with M.2- full-sized power supply.Had to drill holes above the PSU, or it would have nowhere to draw in air from the top (PSY fan is on top). When you do this, be very careful with metal shavings!I highly recommend this case.

A nice rack mount case with some issues.
I got this case to run a small video management system out of a rack mounte enclosure so I didn't need anything fancy. The price was right for this so I went with it.On opening the box, I noted that the case itself and it's materials seemed to be a good quality, not cheap thin gauge steel, it's really pretty solid. The front bezel has a very nice design and look to it. Pretty much everything I expected from the pictures.Then I noticed there was one BIG flaw with this case that wasn't mentioned in the description. It says you can use any PS2 power supply, however that isn't really accurate. While any PS2 supply will mount and fit in the case, as most ATX power supplies made in the past decade+ have bottom mount fans that is an issue. This case unlike others similar to it, does NOT have exhaust holes in the bottom of the case where the PSU mounts. This means that if you have an ATX supply with a bottom fan, its not really useable. I guess if you really wanted to you could drill your own holes but that seems a little silly for something that should be done at the factory. Another option is to find a side exhaust or rear exhaust PSU but those are nearly impossible to find these days and often times cost even more than bottom exhaust.In my case though rather than do all of that, I just used an SFX power supply and an ATX adapter plate which gives about 3/4" clearance on the bottom for airflow.I gave this 4 stars though because other than the design mistake for the PSU area, everything else about it is solid including it's price.

they don't make power supplies that will vent properly with this case
Couldn't find a power supply that vented out the back of the case. I had to drill holes in the top so that an ATX power supply exhaust fan would work. Don't buy this case.

Works Great
Fit my 2x5.25" SATA Bays well and it works great on my rack. Not much to review about other than its a quality chassis.

Extremely sharp edges in the interior of the cas3
The inside edges of this case are EXTREMELY SHARP, I did not even realize until I saw blood dripping. Be careful!!!

Disappointing Quality – Sharp Edges and Noisy Fan
The RackChoice 2U Micro ATX Compact Rackmount looked promising at first, but I was quickly disappointed. The metal edges are quite sharp, making installation a bit hazardous without extra caution. After just two months of use, the included fan started making a loud, irritating noise, which is frustrating for something that should be built to last longer. While the compact design is nice, the overall build quality leaves a lot to be desired.

Almost got a 5
The case is good for the price. I had two gripes. I wish the front USB ports were made a little bit more sturdy. It feels like if I push too hard, it might snap off. The other gripe is that the power supply is for a full power supply, but doesn't have a vent or any holes for the air intake of a power supply to breathe. This caused sudden shutdowns on my server build. I solved this problem by drilling into the top of the case as shown in the picture. I am not sure that everyone would be able to do this. I attached a picture of my modification so that others that have this problem can see how I was able to overcome this hurdle.
