DIY Computer Case PC Frame Desktop Chassis Stackable Rack Stand Open Air Testbench Fits ATX MacroATX E-ATX X79 X99 Motherboard (Stackable)

Great price for what you get. They do stack and can screw together. There is paint in the threads but I have not crosstheaded one screw. I don't like the drive mounting but I am using it and it seems ok. Goes together easy, nice and sturdy once complete. Really cannot think of a downside that isn't inherent of an open air case.Using for a machine learning workstation with 4 gpus and dual CPUs on an EATX board, everything fits as it should.UPDATE: I now have 5 of these, They are great cases. They screw together very well, are very sturdy, My worry of the hard drive mounting is not even an issue. They fit ATX and EATX boards, If you have something smaller the holes are not there.

This thing is pretty bare bones, but that makes it a snap to assemble. It feels sturdy enough, and everything fit as expected. I couldn't seem to find a horizontal case that I liked, so I decided to try and customize this one. It came out okay, I wish I had a laser cutter for the acrylic I used for side panels, but overall I'm happy with how it came out. I even managed to squeeze a 340mm 9070xt Red Devil in it, only because of the extra space I got by adding the 1/8" acrylic and putting the rad and fans on the outside. Without some sort of space between the chassis and the rad the fan would rub on the stupid "Helstone" thing on the end of the GPU.

I bought this case because I wanted to rack mount my PC, but I was having a hard time finding a front I/O case that allowed for a large GPU. So I decided on this open air chassis.However, I didn't want exposed openings in the front, so I bought some corrugated vinyl, to allow me to enclose the front and top of the case, so things would not fall in. The photo in my review is what I ended up with.Everything went together very well. The screws and slots all lined up, and this machine was very easy to build. Plenty of screws were included, and they even include a momentary switch to help you turn on the power - although I recommend getting a panel mount switch or a remote power switch for the PC.Why 4 stars? The case needs to be about 3 inches deeper. While my GPU fits, I can't mount cooling fans in front, the way the photo on the listing shows. So I had to mount the fans on the outside of the case. This isn't a huge problem, as they're inside the rack, but I still wish there was just a little more room.My other problem is that it was just millimeters too wide to fit on a standard rack shelf, so I had to flip the shelf over and set the case on the bottom of the shelf. I had to re-arrange the rack to make things fit, and i may end up having to remove this whole thing and start over, if I want to make things work in the rack the way I'd hoped.So while this really is a decent open air chassis, it's maybe not the best thing to use as a foundation for a custom case mod. It's very close, but it needs some tweaking in the dimensions to be "just right."

Great value case my favorite features that you can stack multiple of these on top of each other. Great case for my test bench. I’ll probably pick up a couple more of these for future builds and/or expandability to make existing rig.

Not enterprise quality, but easily assembled and solid construction. Bought this for open air stackable CPU mining and it’s perfect for that.

this is sturdy nice gauge metal but it has more negative's than positives, if I was making an open air pc with an ATX MB and only using m.2 ssd's and a gpu no longer than 11.75 inches this could make for a nice little setup but this is all I would use it for period.I was hoping this would work as a open server plat form but as you see I had to get creative. I could have drilled a few more holes for mounting the hard drive's but just used what options where there. I did get 2 of these so I am going use the other to mount the PSU and hard drive's I will have no choice and have to drill holes to mount them.I also would not use this as a mining rig set up either space is way too limited and no real way too mount enough GPU'S to make it worth while to use and only being able to use a GPU length of 11.75".I thought maybe I could use this as a test bench as well but that changed in a hurry after I got it assembled as you would most likely want to mount the PSU and any hard drives under the MB and the MB form factor that mounts best is the ATX I did try to mount an Micro ATX and DID NOT like how it was positioned.I removed all the hard drives for one of the pics with just an m.2 on the mother board and system running in one of the picsand assembled the other one and used some hard drive cages from other pc's I hard saved and mounted them with out any drilling so I could add more hard drives. there are better option's out there to buy but this is what I had.If these where $25.00 each I would have give a 5 star but at current price of 39.99 as of 1/16/2025 it will remain at 3stars.

I love this frame. It's open air so will cool very well without any chassis fan, compact, light weight and simple and very affordable.

Well designed, stacks well; threads have paint in them and need to be tapped.Bought 2 for first order to try out and just bought 2 more.I love the motherboard standoff key included and is needed to screw in the paint filled threads. I was worried about cross-threading or breaking the brass stand-offs but forced my way through it. Next time tapping the threads will help significantly.The short cross bars are not clear how to assemble from the pictures or directions - they stick up as the main connection for stacking.Hard to tell where hard drives go.A white letter silk screen or lettering for acessory placement would be a welcomed improvement and stand out from any replicated products.Would love to see option to add slides to the frame to slide in and out of server racks which I'm already considering.
