Slight damage, fell from a height of 4 feet. Protected the installed equipment. Just had to straighten the outer edge with a wooden mallet.

I like how much I can fit into a small space. I dislike that it ended up being very front heavy, which makes it awkward to carry. I suspect most components will end up this way. The wheels and the pull out handle take up quite a bit of space inside - so keep that in mind if you don't need the wheels and handle. The handle does not lock into place, so if you need to flip it around and push for a little bit, that doesn't work. A locking handle would be very helpful and make the wheels far more useful. All in all it's a good little rack system.

I bought this case to use as a go box for my ham radio equipment. While I've been able to make it work, I would not buy it again for the following reasons. The rack mount screw holes do not line up very well with any of the 19" racks or blank panels I bought to use with it. I had to tweak and twist the box and force the screws in at odd angles to get the screws in. The middle section of the enclosure where the handles are is indented making it impossible to get a 19" rack to fit in this section. I had to put my racks above and below this section which wasted space. On the pro side, it is a light weight case compared to others I've used, the handle and wheels make it easy to haul around. It is sturdy and should protect my radio gear well. But if I had to do it over I'd go with a different product.

I really wanted to like this case, but there are too many irregularities, and I'm not happy that I'll have to modify it with a Dremel for it to be usable (which also kills the splash proofing.Issue 1:The handle part of the cutouts so that you can pick it up, goes in too deep closer to make the rack space 17.5-18" instead of 19" standard. So you lose over another 2u of space unless you have items that don't need the width advertised. So far, I can only use PDUs and 2 pieces of gear in this area. It has to be arranged awkwardly around the middle section. Not knocking the bottom 1U space used for the wheels, as stated on their page.Note that I've tried using both standard 1U racks and gear from my other server racks (which had no problems), and they would not fit in that middle area. It might be that the case is slightly warped, but it is not perceptible if it is. This should not affect the distance between threadholes and definitely not to the point that the ears (WHICH HAVE GIANT SPACES to allow for wiggle) can be secured in the top/bottom for each rack ear.Issue 2:The holes (the old-school threaded telecom/audio-style ones but fine for 9/10 requirements) are not even aligned, so I have to choose to screw the tops of rack ears or a mix of them (top/bottom/ bottom/bottom). I can't screw in 4 of any of the holes in any rack gear for multiple racks. I should note that I'm using their provided hardware (spaces/screws).Overall, you get 5U space in the box (advertised at 8U, 7U space usable), but you use about 2U and one mount hole for the handle they extruded too deeply.I wanted to like this case, but too many issues. See the pictures. Nothing silly going on; those are holes, not tricks of camera angles.

I am using as a tote for event recording. Added a shelf to divide so as to accommodate an unmounted splitter snake and multi channel recorder. As well as a few xlr cables and accessories. Plenty of room, sturdy and portable.

Rack holes do not line up even close to correctly, and some require a drill/impact driver to get the bolts in. Terrible / non-existent quality control. I may not be able to use all 11U available, or I will have to place items in the rack in the wrong order to get things to line up.

This is a good quality portable case for you DJ equipment. It is rated as a 4U case, but is more like a 3.5U.I had to use some tin snips to trim the inner metal edge to make it fit 4U worth of equipment, otherwise I would have rated it 5 star
