Review on SilverStone Technology Rackmount Compatibility RM42 502 X by Mark Marcellus

I am using this for a gaming server that I installed in a server rack. It runs on an Intel i7-11700K and an Asus motherboard. The cooler is an EK-AIO cooler which I chose because according to the specs it had the longest hoses to the pump and also the top hose looked lower than the other options when side mounted as required in this case. The case offers a lot of space since it is basically a tower case with rack rails attached to it. It is suitable for standard desktop/tower power supplies. There is no space behind the motherboard, so cable routing must be in the area above the motherboard and between the motherboard and the media/all-in-one bracket. Since it is a server, this is not a big problem. The front is vented so if you have RGB you can see part of it but I didn't go for RGB AIO as it's in the basement anyway. A major flaw is the power button, and the front USB panel takes up so much space that the drive bays are vertical when the case is rack mounted. There is plenty of room to mount them and I wish Silverstone had done this so I can mount the drives horizontally instead of vertically.
