I am among those dozen people that want that case because when I rebuild my computer it's going in the rack.
Don't forget the rails!!! If I could ever afford a brand new GPU, I would probably get the same case. lol
Whew! Thanks for the reminder!
Really impressed by the simplicity of these rails (and the details in the PH mockup :D).
Really nice upgrade, I'm considering this as an alternative to migrate my system to one of these since I'm using a Threathripper for now, but this is just a temp setup since I prefer to use it as a server, so thank you for the idea!
Looks good and pretty awesome! Showing the world how to properly do a rackmount setup
I am running the RM42 for about 2 months now and I am just using a 6800XT from XFX which already was a tight squeeze, I had to remove the PCIe support bar completely in order to fit the GPU. Having the additional 1U of headroom would have been nice, although I would not have had the space in my half height server rack to fit it. But overall a great case and it is running great. Thanks for the video, it was very informative.
Silverstone makes some great cases... I just grabbed the CS380 for my backup nas server... I needed 8 bays and it was cheaper than the 8 bay hotswap upgrade for one of my server racks... also recencly built a media pc in the SG11B, nice little micro atx case. I also have one of their media pc full atx cases, really nice match for my audio setup.
Thanks for the video! This is exactly what I have been thinking about doing. I have two desks (gaming desk) and a (work desk) with a 42U half full server rack between them. I have been thinking about clearing up some desk space by getting rid of both gaming and work pc towers and put them in the rack. Then just run the needed cables to each desk.
Love it, this will very likely be my next case!
I had been going back and forth between some of the 4u options from Sliger. This case is wonderful for just making sure everything fits with clearances. And is oddly tempting to want to watercool.
I got the Sliger 4u
Thanks so much for sharing this, you saved my day, I just bought one. Keep it up, your content is amazingggggg !!!
Did you offer a blood sacrifice to the rails?
Injury free this time 👌
Cooling and Airflow ,most important things in rack server build.Low noise is comfort life. People should looking for CPU`s TDP , GPU`s tdp .I bought this case as well .Thanx
Really interested in your setup. Great video. Gives me something to think about.
I’m glad both this video and case exist, this is something I’ve been searching for yes
"Nature's largest shelf" 💀
I looked at it, but choose to go with a Pull out shelf and a standard cabinet (Lian Li Mini Air) which fits in my smaller rack.
Where i live i saved around 449 us dollas on that to upgrade my GPU.
My rack is mounted in my garage, 5M cables reach its with no problems, its really nice, im never going back to having it in my room, the Heat and noise is gone forever!
Great video, very entertaining. just install 2 of the 4u version of this case. Super easy to work with and one has a custom loop for cooling.
You are my hero. I have the same components. I was like what could fit my 4090. I'm definitely making the switch. thanks for the video bro! subbed
I was literally designing a 5u retro hifi themed chassis and I was thinking about sticking some 180mm fans in the front so I'm happy someone already did some of the work for me lol.
I have been looking for this for ages! Thank you, i was designing my own case using a 5ru scientific instruments enclosure, this is much nicer.
It may cost more up front however that case will give you a lifetime of service. Just keep it dust and condensation free to negate corrosion.
I have two 4U's I have had since 2007 and both have survived three complete system rebuilds.
The two catches with mine are:
(a) the PCI slots are too narrow for the horizontally aligned USB ports on those multi-port USB PCIe cards but that can be addressed as needed.
(b) the front I/O header still has the original USB-2.0 ports and replacements are not easy to find for the case now it is no longer produced, so I added a 2.5" drive panel with 4 x USB-3, audio & mic connectors.
In my case I am running one as my daily driver i9 13 gen platform, the second a xeon system running TrueNAS Scale, and the third PfSense Plus with 2x4x1GNics & 1x2x10G Nics.
Looks very nice!
This case actually kinda reminds me of my fractal torrent with the 2 huge 180mm fans in front, and those can move a lot of air while not spinning that much at all.
Yeah this thing pushes A LOT of air
@@RaidOwl Would you describe the sound of the 184i Pro's motor to be 0db silent from 100-350-ish RPM? I'm asking since I want a system that is totally dead silent on IDLE, surfing with many tabs, very light photoshop, vlc, etc. I have zero issue with these newest Silverstone 180mm to be loud above 1000 RPM, but I need the friction in their motors to produce zero, but I do mean truly zero friction sound (motor noise, subtle grinding sounds which these fans were known for from their very faulty first production batch, etc) during idle use.
I love the RM51 since it apparently allows one to place it like a tower merely inches to the right of your face as one would usually do with a standard desktop tower chassis, all the while having two handle-bars installed on the case's top for ease of movement and looks. This is exactly what I want to do. I want to place the RM51 vertically (like a tower-style desktop on my desk) so that the PSU is ON TOP and the power button being on the lower-right (of the case's outer front), as opposed to the stock image of this chassis from the official site, showing the power button in the upper-left corner and thus actually implying that such an orientation has the entire inner system inverted by 180 degrees with the PSU on the bottom.
But anyway, then, after placing it on my desk vertically with the power button on the bottom right, I would then proceed to permanently pop-off the front metal grill (along with the dust-filter mounted onto it) and compensate for this removal by adding two FF181 (180mm) fan filters on the INSIDE of the case (i.e., mounted onto the fans themselves). The reason why I'd go through all of this hassle (500 USD RM51 + 40 USD 2 x FF181 dust filters) is because to MY eyes, this RM51 thing with the front patterned metal plate REMOVED looks as if it is THE definitive zero-intake-obstruction (metal-mounting obstruction) case on the ENTIRE market, meaning that not even the fractal torrent allows more air-intake than Silverstone seemingly pulled off with the RM51's usage of two 180mm fans and carving their metal grills so that they'd allow the absolute maximum amount of air to be taken in by these 184i Pro's (which, by the way, would be useless if hypothetically mounted in a case with too many metal patterns and shapes obstructing the living s*it out of any potential that these fans had).
My point and question being: do you, as the only person to have done a review of the RM51 think that:
1. The RM51 with an NH-D15 in it would be 0db truly silent during idle (up to, say, 500 RPM)?
2. The case can be placed vertically on a desk WITH the power button being on the bottom-right corner all the while two handle-bars CAN still be installed on the case's (vertical) top regardless, including the ability to install the plastic feet as well in such a weird orientation (opposite from the vertical-mode shown on Silverstone's site)?
I'm even thinking of making a noctua-themed semi-passive system in this case aimed at total silence, so am obviously REALLY curious whether the 184i's could synergize in silence with noctua's stuff so as to become a truly silent (during idle or even light-load) use?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I am basically hinging my purchase decision for this chassis on your potential feedback. Please, let me know if you find the time.
Best regards!
I would consider that case for my primary workstation.... I had to downgrade my Noctua NH-D15 to the NH-D12L to fit in my 4u rack case. I just wanted my system to match my Proxmox and trueNAS racks... lol, for no other reason. I am actually fine with the smaller cpu block as temps are fine
If you are in the market for something like this again. You may want to take look a the rack mount offerings from Sliger. They do not have 5U cases but, they do have 4U and they have options. Which can be much cheaper for the case and rails.
Good call. I have a 4U case from Sliger with an RTX4080 in it, although I did need a 90 degree 12vhpwr adapter to make it fit. Sliger make excellent quality cases, although I also have a Silverstone case in my rack too which is equally as good.
I found my new case for my rack, thanks
Looks sweet! Good buy!
This case is so cool, and it looks very good. I have the RM41 for one of the servers where I tested a couple of cases and Silverstone quality is remarkable. I have a question tho, how do you have connected your screens and keyboard/mouse/usb devices from the server room to your main office?
This will explain everything czcams.com/video/lsuE0YjfTNI/video.html
Good job. You might have already considered a 16x PCI extension and mounting bracket. Perhaps the 4090 was simply too big for that solution. When you want the best, I guess you have to adjust.
When moving your PC to a rack - what I am considering right now - how do you connect to your monitor and input devices - given they are not right next to the rack but let‘s say 6 meters apart?
As a professional stagehand with some gaming interest on the side, i think I'm gonna pull the trigger on this case. I have a 12u shockmounted roadcase just collecting dust so i think I'm gonna mount this with my 3u guitar processor and maybe some extra fan panels for the blank rack units. My biggest concern will be cooling but I imagine if I dont back my roadcase up to the wall I should be pretty golden especially as my current PC has a water cooling AIO ill be putting in
I got a Rackchoice 5U for $325. Tons of room you can put a 360mm aio in it. It also comes with a front lcd with temp readout.
I'll be so glad when this hits uk sellers
I TOTALLY want that 5U chassis. Now I can put a 140mm cooler in my rack mounted threadripper system.
I'm surprised how easy those rails are to install in a rack. I'll definitely buy them and try them out on my 4u Silverstone chassis
I know that some Supermicro 4U chassis can fit a 4090, if you use a 90 degree cablemod adapter. I haven't had a chance to try any other 4U chassis, but those Supermicro ones definitely work. Airflow is enough for a 4090, even though it only has a single 92mm intake fan.
Do you think a similar chassis should be 6U if it has cable management like a normal case?
03:04 Fine, I'll play the game, "Don't forget the rails" 😂🤣
Cool! Great vid. Also gratz on the knock up. ;-)
Thanks!
Looks great!
I’m going to have to get one now
the thing you didn't know what its for, its a pci-e card support bracket the arms slide down and have fingers to hold the pcb so they dont move and get damaged in shipping and moving the system thy usually don't really work on gaming cards as they have shrouds and backplates in the way of the pcb but its meant for big pci-e add in cards you might see in enterprise settings
I love the possibilities with this case! How’s the sound profile? I’m building a homelab, but I try to optimise the sound profile to make it as unobtrusively silent as possible.
Its pretty dang quiet, even more so than a normal PC. You could probably get it near silent with some sound dampening foam.
doggy in the hallway staring and thinking "here we go again..." 0:35🤣
Love the new laugh track... Just like a 70s sitcom!
Can I ask where you got the skin for your MacBook? It looks great. Also I use a 2U Silverstone case for my Blue Iris Box, i found it great too and the rails are so easy. Definitely will use them again for any future rack mount cases.
Dbrand!
Worth it if it frees space. It looks great fitted.
In the process of moving all my servers and my workstation to a rack, and ran into the same issues. Not only do I need a new case (can't fit newer GPUs in my current case), it needs to be rack mounted but also a new cooler as my current Noctua doesn't fit in a 4U. So, subtracting the cost of the cooler, getting a case that will fit ANY GPU that might come out, and still having space for SSDs and a few HDDs. It's really not that much of a stretch for something that, and you get those awesome fans in the front.
Though I REALLY would have liked to know how loud they were away from the rest of your rack.
Thanks for the video!!!
It’s extremely quiet and I’m a noise snob lol
That's very nice 5U enclosure. Some alternative is old case Cooler Master HAF XB EVOLUTION ATX Cube on shelf with rails. It can accommodate quite big GPUs.
🤔🤔🤔
@@RaidOwl I went that route and "never looked back";)
Alphacool does have some dual 180 mm radiators, i wonder if they fit?
how do you connect your pc in the server room with the peripherals and monitor in your living/working room?
Love the Humor, you get a Thumb and a Sub for being awesome!
awsome wife, awsome case, I wish i could see more of your bikes and congrats on the baby coming?
Thank you!
Would this case with the handles either side fit inside a server cabinet with door as opposed to an open rack?
You are my kind of people. Instant sub. Don't forget the rails. Can we Noctua the front fans?
I would if the stock fans had been ass
I don't think Noctua makes a 180mm yet, but I believe the silverstone 5U case comes with a triple 120mm adapter chassis for the front fan area (could be used for both water or air cooling. My tentative plan is to get 3x Noctua NF-S12A 120mms
@@RaidOwl do you think replacing the non-ass 180mm stock fans with 3 Noctua 120mms is wholly unnecessary?
@@drewthompsonhooke for me, yeah...but noctua fans are dope so I wouldn't blame anyone for swapping.
iirc, the Apple Pro (Intel cheesegrater2) behemoth was a 5U also. I want a 5u to put 3 mini-itx systems vertically in.
I now believe Silverstone is the solution for me. I looked through some of their products and these looked great. Large fans and support for big water cooling. But it seems way to large for me. will look further through their offerings
There needs to be a bigger one!, maybe a 10U for a big custom loop.
Does it come with a dust filter on the front?
Can this support a vertical GPU with a PCIe riser cable? Would love to use this and have the GPU off the mobo to utilize the other PCIe lanes
I wonder if you could get away with using the noctua NH-P1 passive cooler on cpus at wattage it’s not rated for? 🤔 It’s definitely high enough for clearance.
And also I like Silverstone cases but really… they didn’t include one of their own 2to1 fan couplings (that they make mind you) at that price?
DONT FORTET TO GRAB THE RAILS. IDC IF IM 2 MONTHS LATE DONT FORGET THEM
Love this channel!
😘😘😘
Hello, how are you? What is the width of your open frame rack?
Couldnt get this in norway yet...would be nice for my new server build
I might actually buy this case. Tried doing the exact same thing with my gaming rig, not realizing the cooler wouldn't clear my lid. Either going to need a 5U case or switch to a rad mount cooling setup. :/
Yeah I really didn’t wanna use an AIO for the 13900k
How the hell did you get your hands on one of these? 😂 I've been looking for one and it's impossible to get, at least here in Canada.
I had been looking for this for years I probably would have found your video months ago if you had put “5U server chassis” in the description or title… 😂 thanks for the video though!!
Hi, found your video very helpful, would you be able to forward your bill of material for the build, Memory, CPU cooler, PSU and mainboard?
Thanks for the video. It looks very full by the end of the build - do you think it would be possible to accomodate another 4090 there? Cheers
Yeah depending on your motherboard and model of 4090. Should be doable
@@RaidOwl I'm interested in dual 4090s too but I wonder if 8 slots will be a bit toasty, not much space in between them or below the last one for that matter.
Would you describe the sound of the 184i Pro's motor to be 0db silent from 100-350-ish RPM? I'm asking since I want a system that is totally dead silent on IDLE, surfing with many tabs, very light photoshop, vlc, etc. I have zero issue with these newest Silverstone 180mm to be loud above 1000 RPM, but I need the friction in their motors to produce zero friction sound. Thanks!
Yeah I mean it’s about as quiet as you get even for a desktop machine
Dude, you’re hilarious. Your homelab content isn’t bad either. 😉
Playing the game, don't forget the rails downstairs lol
Look at the house, god damn it's huge. lol
Don't forget the oven!
Great audience for this one! I absolutely don’t believe that she happened to be wearing the Raid Owl shirt 😂
How was fan noise? My home lab is in a living space… I want to convert my PC to rack based but don’t want to add another jet to the airport.
if the 4U had the exact design I would buy that
Remember to put the rails on!
6:17 completely overkill also known as not enough. It’s never enough!!
That's something I'd absolutely love to have, but a bit out of my price range at the moment.
Was looking at this chassis yesterday, however only 4x3.5HDD? Is there any possibility of adding more?
Not that I know of. It’s not really a ‘NAS-focused’ case I guess
@@RaidOwl SO much room, if I could squeeze in 2 more 3.5 (total of 6). Guess we could mod that GPU holder (the doohickey at 10:58) that holds 2x3.5 to hold 4x3.5? - Thank you responding!
Why are you even using 3.5 hdd's? NVME SSD and a NAS... This is a gaming/workstation case. Hell you can get a 4u case way better suited for storage at half the price
I have to ask because you're the only video online (even including Silverstone's official) that shows how this darn thing works. Do you know how the front grill cover is suppose to come off so you can access the screws mounting the 180mm fans?
Yeah you just pull the front grill off. It’s attached by clips at the top and a grove at the bottom. Then you can unscrew the fans.
Do you pull forward or up, its suuuper tight and I'm thinking I might have to remove it from the rails to be able to apply force. Also thank you for the quick response despite how old the video is.
Actually, got a little brave. I used a flathead aimed for the seam between the front grill and case and tapped on it like a chisel, the front popped off. I see why it was so hard now, two ball pins with catches on the door and barely a handle to grab on. Nicked the powder coating but not sure I'd be able to pull it forward the first few times on a new case, but now I'll know for case number 2. Thank you so much for this video and your reply. Much clearer and faster than the manual or Silverstone's email support, and since its so niche, there's not alot of info out there. You're the man!
Sorry you had so much trouble but I'm glad you got it off!@@NikoroKumitsero
Hello, great video, fun, and it is what I'm looking for. My situation: I'm software developer, my fun is coding not gaming, so any PC fits. BUT NOW my kid needs a gaming PC and I have a server rack in my basement. My question is how to remote GPU result from my basement to the rest of the house? Or is it possible to remote a monitor + control on a gaming PC?
Check out my video on Parsec 👍🏼
That's some real 5U business.
well done video!
Thank you!
Who got seasick watching this GoPro video? Yeah .....me neither lol. Nice case i like it .
Natures largest shelf... LOL the best line
Big brain stuff 🫡
I want to build server chasis out of wood and put it on a shelf. I have a 23u fully enclosed Gator server/audio rack.
thanks for going through the effort to build this decadent rack mounted PC... is there such a thing as a "Server Snob" ? lmfao
The price is just a bit much for me. I bought a Fractal torrent compact and a shelf lol. Half the price and the same glorious180mm fans and cooler clearance
Rack mounting everything is way for the life ;)
Don't forget the damn rails!
Oof close one!
I came for the 5u, stayed for the content, and subbed for the jokes. Fantastic job sir
Love it
yooo the rails!
Thanks! Almost forgot!
Hi. Can anyone help me? I'm new to the server rack world. if I buy this 5U server case for my gaming PC; How do I know what kind of server cabinet to buy. Like as long as I buy 5u or bigger and that it is 20 inches deep; im good? what about the width from the rail to rail. Are all the cabinets universal. Like for music equipment and pc server equipment? Do I need to make sure the cabinet has specific width? Since this case is 17.3 do i need to account for the sliding rails that will be attached. Gets confusing. Lol
Racks and rack mounted stuff is standard width (19”) for the most part so don’t worry about that. Racks will have different depths that you want to make sure is large enough to hold your stuff. Then rails will generally have a range of depths they can mount to. Hope that helps.
Honestly, I've been looking for exactly this but with the capability of adding an ODD. Or at least that cooler master, or someone, releases a new version or a new edition of the haf xb evo. I just want a good case for my machine without it looking like a freaking christmass tree.
I am ready to rack my work station. My setup right now is jank
Bro, I think I’m going with this chassis. Maybe a 4u bc pockets and wife.. Finally I’m gonna be a big boi.
Next is to migrate my disks from sata to hba or whatever it’s called. Gotta research.
