[btarunr]

SilverStone Technology, a pioneer in innovative computer hardware solutions, unveils its latest groundbreaking addition to the 19-inch rackmount server chassis market—the RM600 and RM61-312. Designed to exceed conventional standards, the RM600 represents SilverStone's bold venture into the 6U height form factor, showcasing unparalleled cooling performance and versatility for demanding server applications. Additionally, it serves as the foundation upon which the RM61-312 is built.

SilverStone's venture into rackmount workstation chassis with liquid cooling radiator support has opened new horizons for server infrastructure design, setting a precedent for enhanced cooling efficiency and adaptability. The RM600 exemplifies this pioneering spirit. Boasting a 6U height and 19-inch rackmount form factor, it offers unparalleled flexibility by integrating not one, not two, but a total three sets of 360 mm radiator support into its comprehensive design.



At the core of the RM600 is a meticulously crafted design that prioritizes functionally, durability, and usability. It features a removable front panel with strategically placed perforations to optimize airflow without compromising performance. Front I/O ports, including 1x USB Type-C and 2x USB Type-A, are easily accessible upon panel removal.

Internally, the RM600 features a dual-chamber design. The top chamber, equivalent to a total of 4U height, can accommodate a wide range of motherboard form factors, including up to SSI-EEB, ensuring compatibility with diverse server-grade components. With 8 PCI expansion slots, the chassis supports multiple expansion card configurations of up to 340 mm in length. Additionally, fan/radiator mounts on all sides of the chassis, coupled with dedicated radiator installation points, offer exceptional thermal management capabilities.

The bottom chamber, utilizing the remaining 2U height, houses 3 storage drive cages and dual PSU support mounts. It features a full perforation panel, along with three 120 mm fan mounts, providing exceptional intake airflow to cool the bottom chamber components.

Distinguishing itself from the RM600, the RM61-312 incorporates 12 drive trays at the front of the chassis, occupying the bottom 2U height. These trays support both 2.5" SSDs and 3.5" HDDs, each capable of operating in 12G-SAS or 6G-SATA format. This functionality is achieved through an internal backplane connected to the back of the drive tray module, equipped with 12 Gb/s Mini-SAS HD SFF8643 connectors and SGPIO compatibility. The hot-swappable design of the drive trays ensures seamless maintenance and adaptability to changing storage requirements. Additionally, each drive tray includes a dedicated LED indicator that displays the operational status of individual drives.

Due to the demanding nature of industrial server applications, alongside the release of the RM600 and RM61-312, optional accessories will be available to upgrade and enhance the performance of internal components. These accessories are tailored to meet the dynamic needs of users, ensuring optimal functionality and reliability in even the most rigorous server environments.

In conclusion, the RM600 and RM61-312 represent a paradigm shift in server chassis design, offering unparalleled cooling performance, storage flexibility, and adaptability. SilverStone's commitment to innovation sets a new standard for excellence in the industry, providing users with a compelling solution for their server infrastructure needs.

Holy Molly Silverstone!

Waited so long and seems it was well double-worth the time. Need to weigh RM600 or 61-312, but gosh finally a case(s) for my needs! Yes I'm excited!

 

[ExcuseMeWtf]

Don't need a case like this, but I think it looks great.

 

[InVasMani]

One of the better rack mount case designs I've seen.

 

[ZoneDymo]

It looks fantastic but I'm not sure about paying 700 Dollars for something like this

 

[Kohl Baas]

Good ol' Silverstone did it again.

That is a nice rackmount case there.

 

[Chaitanya]

Its for a small niche and going to be a small batch manufacturing so that price is not surprising.

I saw this on the Silverstone website yesterday. It looks nice. The internal air and breathing room are fantastic. I prefer water cooling over air cooling, and the possibilities are incredibly nice and well thought out!
Outside looking in, I would remove those drive bays at the bottom in the 2U configuration of the case and go for a dual 360 on top of each other to get some more cooling in the front. I like that you can apply 360 to the side of the case, and if you do not have PCI lanes assigned to eq, that is a nice option.

A case like this for me would almost force me to buy more equipment for the motherboard to make sure I am using the case 100%. I still like the RM51 and RM52.

Excellent work, Silverstone!

Silverstone makes decent stuff, I find the issue here in Canada is either no stock or triple the price of something equivalent................

Saw a Silverstone Milo case, perfect for what I want as a console size case - $300 CAD

 

[CheapMeat]

I already have so many Rosewill 4U cases..... but I seriously want one of these just because... like, it's just awesome to look at it. I love the layout. I kinda want it for a collection and maybe build it in it someday. It's so pricey though and I got my Rosewill 4U pre-COVID when they were under $100. I love maxing out cases & builds. Ugh.... it's gonna be on my mind a lot. It's a dream Mainframe...I mean workstation case.

 

[RamiHaidafy]

Now if only they made a server cabinet that looked nice and sleek and futuristic. Not like the ones out there now which resemble high-school lockers.

 

[FoulOnWhite]

Very nice, very versatile.

 

[johnspack]

Dam... a workstation enthusiasts dream... if I had a modern TR system, that would be it for me! At that point another 1200 Can wouldn't be an issue heh!

 

[HBSound]

MMM - How does the dual PSU breath in a case like this????

Now it all makes sense, getting the fresh air from the bottom of the case. With the locations of the PSU directly below the GPUs. I would think you have need to use some nice PSUs, so that the heat of the PSU does not turn the base of the GPUs in to a hotplate.

 

[CheapMeat]

Yeah, keep it mind you can turn it into a Tower, instead of rack mounting. Plus, lots of PSU options, and server-style PSUs can pull air front-to-back. You can even do two SFX PSUs with bracket adapters, to get more room for air, even if that venting area is covering (say when stacked).

Great point if stacked, you would have to leave at least 4-6" between them!

What I do think about in the RACK mounts like this, keeping all the wiring clean and nice, would be a high priority too.

Honestly amazed how much thought Silverstone put into it. Since you mentioned cable management, they even put in two holes on the edges with the rubber grommet between the two spaces, So you can easily snake the cables for the mobo power and then GPU power on the other side.

I also love how they designed the 5.25" bay setup. So you CAN put a radiator with fans on the front or you can slide in 5.25" bay devices (there's 9 slots). They made the slots so you could have vents as well, to leave room for two edge side wall radiators too. Or you can go all out on storage and get fill in 3 of the 3x5.25" bay devices that can hold more 3.5" hard drives or any number of individual 5.25" mount devices.

I mean, seriously, they really gave a whole lot of thought in various ways to do this. Heck, even if you want to go the TOWER route, it's not like they're just saying...roll it over and you're done. They actually give you case feet too and you can remount the handles to make it more moveable.

Exactly! I agree 100%

When it comes to organizing computer cases, it is important to take a strategic approach to ensure optimal functionality. Personally, I would take the time to plan out how I can best utilize the space and ensure that every component is placed in the most advantageous position to achieve my long-term goals. This would require a thoughtful consideration of how to properly cool the system, as well as how to maximize space for drives and other components. Given the complexity of this task, it would not be a simple weekend project. Rather, it would require a careful and meticulous approach to ensure that everything is properly configured and optimized for peak performance.

 

[progste]

Chunky! (the price too!)

 

[HBSound]

Also, it would be spotless if the inside was painted black.

 

[bjspam]

800 bucks seems like a lot - this case was either pre-emptively ripped off, or Silverstone is just rebadging the JMCD 12S4 case, which sells for about 200 + shipping on aliexpress / taobao. Granted, depending on where you are, that shipping is another 200 bucks, but that's still half of the MSRP for this case. Not sure if the extra quality control / support is worth paying double , but maybe it'll go on sale..

 

[ExcuseMeWtf]

Nah, low volume niche order, where initial cost of setting up manufacturing does not spread around too many units.

I mean, manufacturing was obviously already set up since this case has been for sale for a while already under different branding. If you Google the middle number I posted, you can see a review someone posted on Reddit who ordered one in January and received it last month. Few minor kind of cosmetic differences that seems to typically happen is stuff like this.

 

[ExcuseMeWtf]

You don't know if factory had machines set up all the time for it though. And obviously SS had to pay for the order.
