New: Server Rack Case Recommendations?

Hi all,

I’m building out my rack and I’m looking for two cases—one for my daily PC (work and gaming), and one for a storage box running UnRAID. I’d like some feedback on whether these cases are good choices, especially for cooling, and whether my GPU will fit.

PC (work/gaming)

SilverStone RM52 (5U)

SilverStone RM44 (4U)

Main concern: I’ll be running a Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 9070 XT, which is ~331 mm long and a 3.25-slot card. Do either of these cases comfortably take a GPU of that size and thickness? Which would you recommend for thermals and ease of use in a rack?

Storage (UnRAID)

Inter-Tech IPC 4U-4736

I need up to 24–36 drives (3.5″), and this looks like a cost-effective option available in the UK. Does anyone here have experience with this chassis? How’s the cooling with all bays populated? Any quirks I should know about?

Rack setup

12U StarTech enclosed rack

Planning to leave some depth free at the back for a shelf (mini PC + KVM).

Any feedback on whether these are good cases, keep everything cool, and if my GPU will fit would be really appreciated! Or if you can recommend any other cases in the UK?

Thanks in advance 🙏
