Pros

The norco is a great starter case for a server. My psu is a bit noisy, but the fan-upgrades made this office-worthy.

Tank of a server cabinet makes huge storage arrays possible for everyone! It has a few more screws than one would like, but once you get everything settled it's wonderful. The motherboard standoff screws for eatx are self explanatory.

Head up-it now includes the 120mm fan plate as well as the extra ssd mount in the main compartment, or at least mine did. The fans all use old-school molex power connectors so there's no way to connect them to motherboard fan headers without adapters....  Read More

    Overall pretty good but the version i received didnt have the redundant power for the backplanes

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I will eventually shut the server down again and dismantle to reach that tab to flatten it out but until then that 24th bay all but useless to me
