SilverStone Intros RM51 5U Rackmount Case that can be Tilted into a Tower

[SilverStone Technology]

My apologies - thank you!
I will keep a lookout.


Last question - Is there a deeper version of this case coming forth? Is this unit deeper than 485mm?

This was also answered in one of the posts above!

We currently do not have plan to offer another version of this case for retail market. However, we do offer OEM customization with our cases to companies or corporate customers so they can change to whatever spec. they need exactly when buying in bulk quantities of hundreds or more. So if you are interested in doing that, you can also contact our OEM/ODM team directly:

@SilverStone Technology Do you know when/if the case will be available in amazon.es? Or in any Spanish distributor? Thanks!

 

[SilverStone Technology]

Our European office is scheduled to receive their first shipment of RM51 around the end of the month, so hopefully it should be available in Spain by sometimes in early March. I would suggest that you get in touch with SilverStone distributor or resellers directly and ask to order this. A list of distributor / resellers in your area is on our Where to Buy page. We often find that users are more convincing to the distributors / resellers in importing low volume products than we are!

It is expensive mainly due to its much lower production volume compared to normal PC cases. You can't tell from the photos, but it also uses thicker, higher quality metal than cheap rackmount cases.

How thick are the side "door" panels of this case?

 

[SilverStone Technology]

The front door uses 1mm thick steel. The structure of the case uses 1.2mm.

So the side doors use 1mm thick steel?

 

[SilverStone Technology]

Not sure what you mean by "side doors" on the RM51. There is only one door, which is at the front.

 

[enb141]

I mean this door (to me that's a door)

@SilverStone Technology - Is there a way to replace this front inner pannel with just a 3-120 or 3-140 fan mount?

Thank you. I have seen the internal guts of the picture.
I am just trying to see if there are other options available.

Typically referred to as a side panel (top panel in this situation)

3x120 yes, 140 no

OK, sorry for the misunderstanding, you mentioned side doors (in plural) earlier so I didn't realize you were referring to the sole top panel of the case. That panel there is 1mm thick.

I thought the case has 2 of those (up / down) (left / right) in vertical mode, so in other words is the same thickness of about GD04, GD08, GD09, etc.

I forgot that name, thanks for refreshing my head.

Actually the Grandia series HTPC cases have 0.8mm thick structure and panels, which are still good considering many mid-size ATX tower cases have gone to 0.6mm steel and budget cases are in the 0.4mm ~ 0.5mm range.

@SilverStone Technology any idea when/where we could get it in EU?

The first shipment of RM51 destined for our European office should have arrived or arriving this week. It may take another week or so for this case to start showing up on reseller sites. The best way to get your favorite SilverStone resellers to carry this product is to contact them directly and let them know you want to buy. Customers demands are often time more effective than us manufacturers in asking local distributors and resellers to import / carry new products!

 

[piotrecius]

@SilverStone Technology do you plan design 5U rack/tower case similar in function to RM42-502 (with at least two or maybe even four 5,25" bays) in the near future?

Sorry, we can't comment on future product releases, but you are more than welcome to write to us directly at the follwoing email address wtih your product wishes:

I bought one few days ago, very solid and beautiful case (looks better than in pictures), everything was perfect setting a workstation for video editing, 3d, but also pro audio works (in vertical/tower position).
I have used an asus EATX(EEB) motherboard with a threadripper processor, and NVIDIA RTX A5000 GPU (and I can add GPU and upgrade to multiple GPU system in the future). I have 7 M2 HD in my system + 2 standard SSD and 2 SATA Drive for a total of 11 drive. The space is confortable and can host large cpuheatsink. the disapproving comments I see here and elsewhere don't make much sense. Also the 2 big 180 mmm fan are nice and well made (but I add also one smaller fan in the back). With the right components you can build a super machine and you will likeand love this case very much.

The problem that I see with that case is that doesn't has space for a radiator at top (right on horizontal), also the door is at your right (on vertical) ,and doesn't includes a left door (on vertical).
