They really made the most of the 4U height, and while right now my system is pretty basic, I know I could use this case as my system grows and expands over the years. Only problem I've had with it so far is that rails are nearly impossible to find. And especially for shorter depth racks (mine is roughly 18"). I'm using a 2U inverted shelf as a stop gap until I can find something more suitable. Any way, going to be keeping this one a long time! Review: Great case for gaming/editing machine to use in rack. Lots of room. Easy fit with AIO water cooling. - I've had this in use for a few months now. If you don't have an extreme setup or anything, this will do nicely. My older editing rig that I wanted to test this case out with is listed below. I wasn't sure how this was going to work -- would the airflow be good? Would everything fit? How noisy would a 'basic' server case be (clanking, rattling, etc)? So far, I'm very pleasantly surprised at how simple this change over was. Reading the comments, it made it seem like it would be more trial and error, which I didn't experience anything other than a straight forward drop in. With the rack in my closet, I never realized how quiet my computer room could have been many years prior to this. Wish I did this a long time ago. Way more expensive than going a simple desktop case but well worth it. When editing or gaming in this case, my temps are not any worse than with my high flow desktop cube case I had (Corsair 540). I typically stay ~55-58c during video rendering and during gaming the gpu is ~60c with a mild fan curve. Even in the closet, the stock fan curve was louder than I wanted but kept temps down in the low 50's. So I figured the trade-off of >10c for much quieter sound was worth it. So if you're worried about this case not having all the fans you've become accustomed to with gaming cases, don't fret. A good AIO cooler (the Arctic II is excellent and fits great in this case!) and two Noctua 80mm fans on the rear keep the flow decent with minimal sound. Components i7 6850k (oc'd to 4ghz) x99 Titanium ATX mobo R9 Fury 4 x SSD's Arctic II 240 Cooler I ended up not using the gpu bracket or hdd cage. I just stuffed my 4 ssd's in the area for 5.25 devices since I'll never use that for anything. Cable management is easy but not as much of a requirement for something that will be tucked away. Sure, you still want it clean and easy to work on as well as keeping the restriction of airflow down, with that in mind, it's nothing to get the cables out of the way. The case is solid and sturdy. When put in the rack with the lid, no rattles from the case whatsoever. With the front lockable door open or closed, it made no difference in my temps, so I just keep it closed. Love the usb-c port on the front! Mild cons: It's pricey. Can't find good quality sliding rails to work with it. Will be moving my other 2 computers into these cases over time. ## Features - Supports up to SSI-EEB motherboards & 240mm liquid cooling radiators - Front panel features anti-theft lock design providing additional security - Two 5.25" drive bays directly compatible with 3.5" or 2.5" drives, USB Type-C interface - Sliding rail mounting holes for quick rail installation - Can be placed upright or horizontal ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09227RQV2 | | Antenna Location | Business | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,162,366 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #2,179 in Computer Cases | | Brand | SilverStone | | Brand Name | SilverStone | | Case Type | Tower | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Server | | Cooling Method | Air, Water | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 47 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Fan Size | 240 Millimetres | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Internal Bays Quantity | 2 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 46.8D x 43W x 17.6H Centimeters | | Item Weight | 9.9 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | SilverStone Technology | | Manufacturer Part Number | RM42-502 | | Material | Metal | | Model Name | RM42-502 | | Model Number | RM42-502 | | Motherboard Compatibility | Extended ATX | | Number of Fans | 2 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Liquid Cooling Compatibility, Anti-Theft Lock Design, Sliding Rail Mounting Holes | | Power Supply Mounting Type | Bottom Mount | | Recommended Uses For Product | Business | | Supported Motherboard | Extended ATX | | Total Expansion Slots Quantity | 8 | | Total USB 3.0 Ports | 2 | | Total USB Ports | 2 | | UPC | 844761022136 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SilverStone - **Motherboard Compatibility:** Extended ATX - **Case Type:** Tower - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Business - **Colour:** Black ## Images ![SilverStone Metal RM42-502 4U Rackmount Server Chassis With Liquid Cooling Compatibility, SST-RM42-502, Grey - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eOzbeSpbL.jpg) ![SilverStone Metal RM42-502 4U Rackmount Server Chassis With Liquid Cooling Compatibility, SST-RM42-502, Grey - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YBUMCWLEL.jpg) ![SilverStone Metal RM42-502 4U Rackmount Server Chassis With Liquid Cooling Compatibility, SST-RM42-502, Grey - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tKeXbMvJL.jpg) ![SilverStone Metal RM42-502 4U Rackmount Server Chassis With Liquid Cooling Compatibility, SST-RM42-502, Grey - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xHYZO4ajS.jpg) ![SilverStone Metal RM42-502 4U Rackmount Server Chassis With Liquid Cooling Compatibility, SST-RM42-502, Grey - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lK9uGM1iS.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: do you sell a clear plexiglass replacement lid?** A: Sorry not at this time! But if we get enough demand for it, we'll definitely consider it. **Q: Can this rack mount support a Zotac 4090 Trinity?** A: This card, according to Zotac's website, is 356.1mm long by 150.1mm wide so it can fit into the RM42-502 by itself, which without the expansion card retainer or GPU holder installed, as room for cards up to 426mm long by 154mm wide. However, depending on the 12VHPWR connector you use, it may be too wide for the case's top panel to close. **Q: Is this case compatible with ATX motherboards?** A: Yes, the RM42-502 case is compatible with ATX motherboard or larger form factors up to SSI-EEB. For detailed information on this case and to download manual, please check out its product page on our website: https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/RM42-502/ **Q: Anyone know if this will fit a msi 3090?** A: This case can fit any versions of MSI's RTX 3090 graphics card. Though you will have to remove its GPU holder to do so, but if you are not planning on moving the case around often once it's built, then you'll be fine without it.
