Review on πŸ—„οΈ Sabrent 9U IT Wall Mount Rack Enclosure 19 Inch Black Server Cabinet - Fully Assembled (CT-DSWL) with Locking Glass Door by Stephen Cernatescu

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Arrived dented

I got it to store two PCs in server cases, one for everyday use and one to run routing software as a home router. In a 9U case I have a home internet router in a 1U case and a PC in a 4U case. My project was something of a project that went wrong, although it wasn't an accident, it was my own. I can't close the front glass pane because I misread the depth measurements and installed the PC in a 4U case that was too long. It's fine to leave it bolted or not, but make sure you read the dimensions correctly! The device arrived with a few dents that other reviewers seem to frequently report, but overall it's a good device. I haven't used the top two ports for additional cooling yet as the router runs in an open case configuration in the rack and the back door still needs to be left open and the 4U long case works with the PC case. The device can be screwed to the wall, but that's not the application I'm going to use. The bottom line is that this case doesn't technically fit my needs and I plan to switch to an open rack in the future for more flexibility. that there are no problems. It's well built from cold-rolled steel, but doesn't seem to be taking shipping very well. Nothing more to say about the simple case with rack and pinion, that gets the job done, but I'll definitely be digging into something deeper in the future. Can't comment on the heat build up as the case is open at the moment as you will see the rat's nest that had to be made to make it work. Also, this is my first time using a rackmount server case for anything. Some notes. The back has metal external latches that allow opening like a door, as well as rear access for those not wall mounting the case, and the front glass panel has key-lock features for security, allowing both ends to be opened . for easy maintenance if you wish. Overall not bad for this type of setup. I have seen,

Pros
  • All steel construction with a reinforced lockable tempered glass door to keep equipment safe.
Cons
  • Legacy model
