Server chassis with seven 5.25" bays

This refurbished tower chassis fits ATX or micro-ATX boards up to 12 x 9.6 inches and is built around dual Xeon support. Seven full-height 5.25 inch bays and two slim 3.5 inch floppy slots provide dense front-access storage. Seven expansion slots give room for multiple add-in cards.

Cooling and sustained operation

A single 40 millimetre fan handles airflow across the board area and drive cage. Under continuous load the small fan can become a bottleneck, so thermal headroom depends on component choice and ambient temperature. The steel frame and plastic bezel do not add active cooling capacity.

Physical limits of the form factor

The 19.00 x 8.00 x 22.50 inch footprint restricts rack or shelf placement to spaces that accept a tower-U layout. Only seven low-profile or full-height cards fit the slot array, and no additional drive bays exist beyond the nine listed. Builders needing more internal storage or extra expansion slots must choose a larger enclosure.
