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

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.

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.

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.

This case has all the bells and whistles at an unbelievable price. I'm building some mass storage file servers to divorce myself from expensive cloud storage. For the price of a single years online storage I have 2 servers using older drives I had laying around. This enables having two copies in case one server or drive fails by using simply robocopy commands or even the free backup software that comes with Windows. Either way is free and allow piece of mind that I won't loose my files and save some money as well. The case will fit as many hard drives as I can imagine anyone could ever want as well as other powerful gaming components with little drought that anything you want to add to your system will fit.

5 ⭐ Love the case. Even though it is a mid size case. I can't complain for the price. You definitely get your bang for the buck on this one. It does have all the storage space it says it has. I have 12 HDDs I crammed into this thing for my old server setup. So having enough slots for HDDs was my main priority. I did go from an OLD Cooler Master Full Size ( All Beat to Hell ) Tower. So cramming everything into this mid size tower was a serious chore. Suggestions: Go with a fully modular PSU if you intend to build in this case. I still have my old Thermaltake 750w running this thing. And it is not modular by any means. It was probably the hardest thing to do in this build whereas I had issues trying to cable manage it. And the back panel doesn't give you a lot of leeway for room to close the gap. Spaghetti style PSUs are a thing of the past. So go with a fully modular PSU. Other Thoughts: It does come with 4 fans. So that was a plus. This build was for a server anyways so no RGB was necessary. And it will be sitting in my basement regardless. Out of sight out of mind. Other Other Thoughts: Air flow is fantastic. The CFMs for the front fans were set at Maximum when I fired up my software for fan controls. I set my curvature and temperature gauges so my HDDs never see temps over 32C. Being in the basement it is always nice and cold anyways. But this case definitely has excellent air flow. Little incense stick showed me where the air was flowing and nothing was coming out of the chimney. Straight in and straight out the back. The 3 fans in the front covered all 8 HDDs in the front. Which are my main storage drives. Final Thoughts: If your looking for a decent low price budget mid Tower this is the one. Super easy to build in and excellent airflow all around. There was one complaint I have and that there was not enough HDD screws available for all my HDDs. They came up short. Thankfully I build computers for a living so I always have plenty of them in my storage bins.

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.

Excelente lo recomiendo.

Works fine, lots of HD space but it could be designed so the drives go in the other way so it's easier to remove. Also not a ton of space for the power/sata cables on right side of the case. it could be offset another 1/2 inch to make things easier.

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.

Definitivamente sirve muy bien para lo que es tener la ventana de montar tantos hdd sin problema lo recomiendo solamente es muy ampleo el gabinete no sufrí al pasar los cables como otros comentarios pero también compré cables en serie
