DARKROCK Classico Storage Master ATX NAS Computer Case Mid Tower with 4x120mm Fans, USB 3.0 Ready 10 x3.5'' HDD+3 x2.5'' SDD 360mm Supported on Top & Front Radiator GPU Vertically Mounting Black

I bought this case as for a home NAS and Plex server. Honestly this is a pretty great case! Cons: The metal is a little thin and sharp in areas. But over all nothing that I haven't seen before in lower price point cases. Pros: I mean where to start, for the price this case is really a great case! Perfect for a sever or NAS. "Officially" it holds 12 3.5 drives, and 2 2.5 drives. Unofficially (with the help of a 3D printer) you can easily fit a LOT more 2.5 drives in and up to 4 more 3.5 drives. It has lots of room for a large power supply, full size ATX motherboard, as well as a full size graphics card. The fans it comes with are nice and quiet and move plenty of air. It looks really good for a case you're probably going to hind in a closet or under a desk. It has a great front panel. It's SUPER easy to build in, and has lots of area for cable management. It comes with more than enough hardware and screws. This is the PERFECT case for a budget server build that looks like you spent a lot more on it then you did. Honestly Darkrock keep up that great work!

This case provides everything I was looking for, especially at this price point. I'm coming from a smaller NAS enclosure that became very crowded and restricted airflow. This chassis offers plenty of space for cable management and can hold up to 10 (possibly even 11) hard drives if you place one on top of the bottom drive. I currently have 6 HDDs and 1 SSD installed, and there's still plenty of room to grow. With seven fans running, the temperatures for each drive and the processor stay around 30°C, which is impressive. This is my first time building inside a tower-style case, and the experience was much easier than working with smaller cube-style NAS enclosures. The build quality feels durable, and while I don't have much to compare it to, I'm genuinely happy with it. If you're looking for a chassis that can hold several drives and still maintain great airflow, this is a solid choice. I'm fairly new to building PCs and servers, but after a year of learning, I can confidently say I wish I had started with this unit from the beginning.

This thing is huge! It's pretty good, I was not able to find very many options for storage focused PC cases outside of a prebuilt NAS or actual server. Very easy to build into, lots of space, good cable management, pre installed fans with a triple splitter, room for a 360 radiator. PSU area has plenty of space for when you realize you *did* actually need that second PCIe mod cable but everything else is already installed... Couple issues worth noting, it is designed for 3.5" drives only, you cannot install 2.5" in those 10x bays. There are holes drilled in the top of each bay that will hold 5x drives, but they are too far from the edge for cables to fit. There are 2.5" carriages behind and under the motherboard if you only need a few. Also the vertical PCI slot blanks don't fit over the top horizontal slot screw and I had to remove it.

The Darkrock Classico is an amazing case. I was not expecting much from a lessor known brand but I was pleasantly surprised by it's build quality. No sharp edges anywhere and the side panels come off with ease. I went with the Max version due to it being 1 inch larger in depth as I was concerened my Epyc CPU cooloer would have been to large for the regular version. I think I could have gotten away getting the smaller one but getting the Max gave me more peace of mind. The amount of storage this case holds is insane. I currently have six spinning rust HDD, two on the bottom, not seen from the front and four on top. I still have space for four more HDD and even two more SSD on the back. I'm using this case for my Proxmox server with a Supermicro H12SSL-i ATX motherboard. The case itself is not heavy which is great as adding all my components increase the overall weight a bit. Airflow and temps are reasonable with 3 120mm fans in the front and top of the case and a single 140mm in the back. Overal all I am quite happy with the case, it's size and it's overall functionality.

Great case! Lots of space to work and mount everything easily, seems to keep dust out a bit better than my last case too. Awesome value!

I like this case — for the price, it’s cheap, durable, and functional. Pros: - Supports plenty of HDD space — I was able to install 4 HDDs without issue. - The four included fans are strong and quiet. - Comes with a fan splitter and two right-angle SATA cables (about 14 inches long). - The price is right. It’s made from thin metal, but it's sturdy enough for my needs. Cons: - Maintenance isn't easy — adding or removing HDDs requires removing both side panels and the HDD cage. - Side panels are difficult to screw in when the case is standing vertically; it needs to be laid flat for proper alignment. - Thumb screws don’t work well — you’ll likely need a screwdriver. - The power and reset buttons are too easy to press accidentally. Moving the case almost guarantees an unintended press. - The rubber feet are held by plastic clips rather than screws, and they’re prone to breaking when removed. - The case is bulky with no handholds, making it difficult to move when fully loaded. - Despite its size, internal cable management is tight — routing cables cleanly can be a challenge.

Amazing case for the price. Chassis is well built, and cable management isn't too hard. Love the modularity of the HDD cages. Only thing I wished for was a punched out back panel so that thicker cables (like the SATA breakouts) wouldn't prevent the back from sliding back on, so I had to get smart with the placement and wiring. Also the included fans are 3 pin, and the front panel does not include a mesh filter, but I was able to make one with a spare mesh filter from another case and just tape it on, works good.

WOW! absolutely pleased with this case. At first I was looking for something more budget friendly for me but I pulled the trigger on this one because of the features listed, particularly expandability and vertical PCI card support. I'm pleased to say I was not disappointed. the amount of drives you can put in this thing is insane, very thoughtful design, cable and drives can actually breath. Comes with 3 fans on front, one at the back and mesh ventilation on top.. The Absolute NAS chassis. I fitted my mATX x9scl board and I couldn't be happier for the future. Definitely recommend if you have a server or if you are thinking of building a workstation. Cable management option is great with room for the cables when you close the panel, and I was very surprised when I plugged in this thing, the silence was sweet. Also, the cage design for the drives is amazing, very compartmentalized, sturdy, makes sense. The drives stay secure and its actually very satisfying to add or remove them.. In a very odd way to me Lol.

Mostly everything about this case is pretty good, it's well ventilated and having the HDD connectors pointing to the rear eliminates cable clutter over the motherboard. The only downside is that, because there are no supplied HDD cradles, each bay has to be unscrewed before HDDs can be secured in place with screws, and of course you have to then screw the bay back in place. Additionally there are a couple of bars across the cage in two places, which makes connecting fiddly. But all up a decent case with lots of HDD capacity.

Superou as expectativas

This is fab. The delivery took a long time but they made up for it. Cable management is good, lots of places to put them and tie them too. I think it looks great, the big grills give loads of space for airflow. The temps are down about 20c from my last case on the cpu and 10c on the drives. (Storage server). Great value for money at £70, I bought it at £123 and even then I think it is still fab. 12 drives for that little money is great. I do wonder if it really will be able to fit 12x 3.5" drives as one of the bays looks like it might be a tight fit if all the front bays are installed. Unfortunately I have not tried it. It probably is possible to just push the front bay up a bit to put the drive in. Just worth knowing it would need to be a thinner 3.5" drive instead of of one of the thicker style. It also does have 2x 2.5" drive bays aswell. Edit: Just read the listing and they updated it from 12HDDs to 13 drives. That includes ssds. I agree that all the drives will fit how they have specified. My case came with 2 hdd mounts for on the inside underneath the motherboard and just under the big stack of drives. (not in the basement part though). The drive under the mobo fits fine but the one under the stack of drives won't fit unless you have a very thin 3.5" drive (none of mine have fitted so far). This being said, I have now got 14 drives in my case. 12 HDDs and 2 SSDs, the 2 ssds are on the back of the mobo. The hdds are in all their designated slots and one is under the mobo in the little tray it came with. I managed to put 2 screws into a drive above the 2 near the psu (where it says to put an SSD, you are able to put both, only 2 screws for the HDD but I think it should be fine as it isn't going to be shaking around and it is flat anyway so I doubt it will move. Still a fantastic case, I'm going to order some 140mm fans for the front so that they all get a bit more airflow as they idled around 30-35c with 10 drives but now I've added the extra 4 hdds I suspect it might get a little toasty. I also want to test how much of a difference 140mm fans make. I would still highly recommend this case, it is nice to build in as well as easy. Feels high quality. Would buy again. (Shouldn't as I don't need another NAS however, this one is now full😂😂) Excuse the dust in the photos, the server has been built for quite a while now. If anyone has questions about it, feel free to message me on discord (username is: steelwoodplays)

Una opción muy buena para un NAS o almacenamiento extra para algún proyecto personal o homelab, tamaño adecuado para tarjetas hasta ATX , las EATX ya no caben a menos que se retire el almacenamiento. 3 ventiladores frontales hacen de este gabinete un complemento ideal para refrigerar todo el hardware y con espacio adicional para ventiladores extra

It's not the easiest case to work with, especially if you need to replace components. That being said, for the money it's a great case for a decent home server. I am very happy with it!
