I LOVE This Little Rack
In my opinion - I cannot tell you enough how AWESOME this little mini-rack is. It is good quality - feels like strong metal, painted / coated very nicely. Roomy slots for each pi. Fan is INCREDIBLE - a bit loud, but cools all pi’s quite nicely. Each pi unit / drawer is a strong, nice raised screw mounts, protects the pi, but allows you to reach power cable to insert / remove easily. Also - the open sides make for amazing airflow.I am a nerd - so I love having my own little pretend “data center rack”! You will too! :)

THE FANS ARE REALLY LOUD
Like everyone else has already stated the fans are way too loud. But overall the enclosure is sturdy and takes up very little real estate on my desk. I did have a couple of screw holes that needed to be reamed out. The quality control is lacking. But despite the negatives I'm happy with the overall appearance and functionality. The ability to have an SSD nested in with my Pi is a nice added touch.

First rack
The sd card slot on the backs of pi Easy enough to assemble the quality in materials is adequate for the application. It’s aesthetically pleasing with the ability to customize. The open frame and the two large fans keep all the pies fairly cool with plenty of other places to add fans. It’s pretty affordable. It’s just why can’t somebody have better access to the SD slots on the back?

This is a gem.
I decided to go with this unit instead of a rack mount, and I'm glad I did. Cable access is particularly good. All parts were well made and all holes lined up perfectly. It's an easy assembly job. I have 3 RasPis at the moment, and it's great to have them all in one place. This unit accepts both Raspi4 and Raspi5. My Raspi5, with a top mounted hat with SSD, mounted nicely. I have found no issues with this unit and am very pleased with the purchase.

Works great
Works as expected probably will switch out the fans as they are a little loud

Bad measurements and mistake in instructions
First off I can't pull one out if a ssd is mounted on it, I have to open the bay under it to get the bay on top open. 2nd in the measurements it doesn't say that it has the Pi lifted off the bottom of the bay...so no clue if a hat is going to fit. 3rd you have 2 screws listed as M2.5 * 5. Not to impressed with this one and if I ever do another cluster I won't be getting this again.

Total Garbage
If you add a raspberry pi to this case with POE, you can not connect the fans, it would have been at least nice if the plug would have worked with the fan header on the RPI, instead there is no way to connect the Tower fans. The GPIO pins are covered by the POE card, so there is NO WAY to connect the fans. What a joke, should have known
