it is the Rosewill RSV-Z2000 newegg has had this server on shell shocker a few times for about $20 off. I am not a fan of how the power supply is mounted in it. it has a poor airflow design. If you use a bottom mounted PSU in a rack, the server above it suffocates it. if you have it with nothing above it, it prone to debris (say a loose screw!) falling into the PSU. If you used a rear-exhaust PSU, the hot air from it gets blown out the front of the server and sucked right back into the drive bay. (that's still better then suffocation) other then that, for what it is, it looks fairly "clean" and an inexpensive way to get 9 hard drives into a single 2U server. Its actually not to bad. There is a decent gap between the PSU and the top of the Chassis also the two front fans move enough air over the top to cool the PSU. The vents in the top of the Chassis help out a bit too. Were its going in the rack there will be a 1U gap on top of the server and then another one of my servers that will have no loose screws on the bottom lol.

I just finished my first UnRAID build that will be used as a storage server for my website. Everything with the build went as planed and I'm doing the Parity Sync right now. It only has 500 + minutes to go. I think I may be building another one of these in a month or so as a second storage server.
