$699 elsewhere

Supports up to SSI-EEB motherboards
Includes 2 x Air Penetrator 184i PRO fans for superior air intake
Supports 360mm liquid cooling radiator
8 PCI expansion slots
Reserved sliding rail mounting holes for quick rail installation
Includes one USB Type-C interface
Upright or horizontal placement flexibility
Secondary PSU can be installed if 3.5" drive cage is to be left unoccupied

Has support for the taller 40 series cards where 4u cases can't clear the 12VHPWR. Otherwise you're better off with the RM44. Neither come with the sliding rails.
A showcase from GN is the only coverage I could find.

  Why this and not an atx case?

    If you have multiple pieces of rack gear and want all pieces neatly in a dedicated space. Maybe a/v gear, network gear, or similar.

    If you're using for a server with racked network switches etc

    Options for storage/travel cases with rack cases.

    I'm sure there's more uses out there

      But you would still buy an ATX case and just lay it on its side on a shelf in your rack.
      For $457 this has bonkers limitations like only 2 X 3.5" drive bays ?!

        Not if it needs to be secured or moved?

        Definitely pros and cons.

          @snoopydoop: Yeah I'm not saying there is no place for rack mount cases - obviously there is. But this one is expensive and weird.
          If my use case was fitting a taller 40xx card then I would definately be using a gaming tower case on it's side. For storage I use a Rosewill 4500.

            @Nom: I guess I can imagine someone working with video or 3D who needs to move sites with it often could want this cased up?

            I've been thinking about something like a Rosewill eventually for my plex server! Looks good.
