Poor Cooling for a server case |
As an entry level server case the 8950 doesn't do a bad job at all, and at a price of around $160 - $180 you can expect the 8950 to be one of the more attractive cases that offers the feature set it does. The convertible rackmount option as well as the optional hot swappable drive bay are two features that increase the flexibility of this case tremendously.
As far as using the 8950 as a case for a high end workstation or an overclocker's dream, you're probably going to want to opt for a better ventilated case as the average temperature of the 8950 was on par with that of the Palo Alto cases we've tested. While it is true that the Palo Alto cases are among the coolest running cases that we've reviewed thus far, it is also worth mentioning that the 8950 is a server case and should be a much cooler option than even the best Mid-Tower ATX cases.
