    What is your preferred chassis? How does this stack up?

      That's the case I use actually. Used Rosewill ones before but they had a lot of limitations.

    • @SPXLabs

      Rosewill has 1 chassis that is superb but the fan bracket wasn’t meant to support a radiator. Some of the other servers from them I’ve used also have weird quirks or bad decisions. So far the two cases from Sliger I have used have been very well thought out

      I have used a Supermicro chasis for about 8 years now - bought it from eBay. It has 12 3.5" drive bay - uses trays. It's nice but the fans in it can get loud. I also have a Rosewill 4U case - plenty of room, but mine has an irritating storage system. (I also only paid $40 for the Rosewill from FB Marketplace, so the price was right). I'm starting to think about an LLM system - a 4U should have room for a GPU. Now, how to talk the missus into the LLM server...hmmm.

      @@ChrisRider I've been tempted to get a used supermicro chassis over the years but when I was looking it was hard to determine if the backplane was SATA2 or 3. I never got around to pulling the trigger and ended up with Rosewill which has been great for the 6 or so years I've used it. For damn near everything. The last rosewill case didn't stack hard drives correctly, as in, if you tried to fill it the trays were too close together preventing you from being able to max it out. I found Sliger while looking for a smaller server chassis to mount my gaming rig in. Their CX3171a XL fit the bill. It might work for you as an LLM server, not sure if has the capacity you are looking for though.

      Nice! I just racked my desktop in CX3172a XL and it’s my first Sliger chassis. So far I’m liking it but uh my GPU broke so I haven’t really got to use it. The 4200e is nice for compactness. Definitely a good choice.

    Interesting case. May be worth picking up when I need to add more storage.

    • @SPXLabs
      @SPXLabs  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Without third party devices the default case has a maximum storage capacity of 12x 3.5" HDD and 10x 2.5" SSD. Pretty good for home use. For the power users though, it may not be enough...

    This is a fine rack mount workstation chassis. It would be great for a high-performance workstation to host an open source LLM. In fact, when I start gathering parts for mine, its going in this Sliger chassis. I do however have one issue. With a file server use case in mind, 4U is too much vertical space for a box that only holds ten drives. My InterTECH 4420 has TWENTY 3.5-inch drive bays and was the same price as this Sliger. Remember I'm not knocking Sliger. THEY MAKE GREAT RACKMOUNT WORKSTATION CHASSIS, and I'm about to buy this one. It just misses the mark as a 4U server chassis.

    • @SPXLabs
      @SPXLabs  2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      It definitely fits the bill for a few use cases but as you said if you need massive storage maybe pick up a 4u chassis with more capacity. Nonetheless in general terms it’s still a great chassis.

    I have this case but one of the passthrough to hdd is busted and I need to fix it.
    But other than that I’m very happy. Only thing I’d like to see as an option in the future is a backplane that maybe just plugs into those passthroughs for a little less cable clutter and making it easier to also have more plugs for SSD cages

    • @SPXLabs
      @SPXLabs  วันที่ผ่านมา

      Really?? How did that happen?
      An integrated backplane would be cool. The case is a little pricey already not sure how much cost that would add.

      @user-cm3wd5hk1p วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@SPXLabs it showed up that way.
      Took me some troubleshooting to figure it out but Sliger CS has been good. They apparently include some extra passthroughs but haven’t had time to look and they said if I don’t have them they will send me more.
      A backplane would definitely add a decent amount and I agree it is already pricey.
      That’s why I think it could be a “clip on” aftermarket accessory. But even if they don’t do it it’s still a great case.
      I’m also thinking about getting one of their other HDD 3U cases to use as a JBOD. Run a lot quieter than one of those enterprise disk shelves.

    I think some of the Rosewill 4U cases offer a lot more than this chassis especially when it comes to more drive mounts.

    • @SPXLabs
      @SPXLabs  วันที่ผ่านมา

      Probably depends on which 4u. I think the 15 hit swap bay chassis is the best they offer all the other ones are awkward or have even have issues where you can’t stack drives due to trays being too close together

    Caddy-less is definitely cheaper, and the cooling is better - but you need those 4 studs & screwdriver. There are neater solutions. Vibration is not a big issue with 'only' 4 or 8 drives .... once you have 24+, 60 or 100 in a 4U that's different

    Have you considered making your videos at 24p? The reason I ask is that I watch TH-cam on my TV with a Roku. I like to watch at fast speed and when I do your video drops down to 480p quality . So I usually end up not watching. I notice that 24p video plays just fine at faster speeds. Thanks.

      24 Pence? I have not considered doing that. I have been flamed way too much in the past for doing anything less than 60fps. People always yell saying it's not buttery smooth enough and stuff. Your the first person in almost 4 years to say anything about FPS....
