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.

WOW! absolutely pleased with this case. At first I was looking for something more budget friendly for me but I pulled the trigger on this one because of the features listed, particularly expandability and vertical PCI card support. I'm pleased to say I was not disappointed. the amount of drives you can put in this thing is insane, very thoughtful design, cable and drives can actually breath. Comes with 3 fans on front, one at the back and mesh ventilation on top.. The Absolute NAS chassis. I fitted my mATX x9scl board and I couldn't be happier for the future. Definitely recommend if you have a server or if you are thinking of building a workstation. Cable management option is great with room for the cables when you close the panel, and I was very surprised when I plugged in this thing, the silence was sweet. Also, the cage design for the drives is amazing, very compartmentalized, sturdy, makes sense. The drives stay secure and its actually very satisfying to add or remove them.. In a very odd way to me Lol.

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.

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.

Sturdy, light, and plenty of HDD or SSD space. Perfect for a home server and can easily store more then 200TB if you have the right drives. Getting 4 fans and a controller was a huge plus, I didn't even bother with top mounted fans as the airflow was good enough with an air cooler on the CPU. Will easily hold a big GPU (4090), but not 2. Great price. Highly recommended.

I like this case — for the price, it’s cheap, durable, and functional. Pros: - Supports plenty of HDD space — I was able to install 4 HDDs without issue. - The four included fans are strong and quiet. - Comes with a fan splitter and two right-angle SATA cables (about 14 inches long). - The price is right. It’s made from thin metal, but it's sturdy enough for my needs. Cons: - Maintenance isn't easy — adding or removing HDDs requires removing both side panels and the HDD cage. - Side panels are difficult to screw in when the case is standing vertically; it needs to be laid flat for proper alignment. - Thumb screws don’t work well — you’ll likely need a screwdriver. - The power and reset buttons are too easy to press accidentally. Moving the case almost guarantees an unintended press. - The rubber feet are held by plastic clips rather than screws, and they’re prone to breaking when removed. - The case is bulky with no handholds, making it difficult to move when fully loaded. - Despite its size, internal cable management is tight — routing cables cleanly can be a challenge.

Really good case and price. easy to put together and looks really nice.

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.
