Disappointing Quality for the Price

My analysis of this computer case showed that while it was marketed as a high-end product, the build quality was subpar. The metal was thin and easily dented, and the internal layout was difficult to work with. The only pro was that it had ample room for storage drives. However, given the high price point, I would expect much better quality. I ultimately decided to go with a different brand for my servers.

Pros
  • Supports dual Intel Xeon processors and multiple hard drives for high performance computing
Cons
  • Not cost-effective for small businesses or personal use due to its high price point

There's a reason Supermicro charges extra - it's the design (not the documentation). Absolutely worth buying.

WOW. What a great case. That's why you're paying for a Supermicro chassis, not a knockoff. But come to Supermicro. Hire someone to write a decent manual and write down the best specs. First about all right. Nowhere in the documentation does it say the 826 case supports anything other than EATX motherboards. It does. There are racks everywhere and I made good use of my Micro ATX Supermicro X9SCM-F board. The posts are double threaded nuts so you will need a 7mm wrench or socket to add or removeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Modern

Nice sleeve but no full length cards.

A beautiful case, but there is no way to install full-size cards. I want all 2U cases to be able to install a full size card.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • There are some nuances
