Supermicro SuperChassis 440W/480W 1U Rackmount Server Chassis CSE-813MFTQ-R400CB Black

This 1U chassis is a perfect match to the specific Supermicro motherboards listed on their website. We used it with the X10SRL-F and a Xeon processor. The chassis comes with two redundant power supplies installed, rack rails partly installed, and all the hardware needed to add the motherboard and drives. It is very well made, and when run in an energy management mode will be quiet. Be aware that if the 4 fans are running at full speed, it is not quiet, but in our use the that mode is brief at startup and not an issue at all. The chassis also comes with adapters for front panel changes and for using a DVD which we did not try. As is, the back steel frame has breakouts for the usual connectors on the motherboard and thus makes a very nicely intergrated finished server. With 4 drives each with 8 TB it would handle 32 TB of storage, or a lower capacity RAID array. A couple of small points: the power supply cables to the motherboard are a tight fit under the cover once plugged into our choice of motherboard, but will work with thoughtlful routing. To remove the cover there are two small retainer screws on the far side from the latches. The screws are not accessible after the back rails are installed, and could be left out if future access is anticipated. They simply secure the cover from being opened unintentionally.
