Question 1

Is all of the weight held by those 4 screws? Any for the back of the case?

Accepted Answer

That is completely up to you. With a minimum purchase, yes the 4 screws would hold the entire weight of the contents. The screws should be able to support the weight, but they may be difficult to position in order to tighten them. I bought a set of rails for the bottom case of my rack. Another option would to be to install the case in your rack empty, and then add the contents. That postpones any problems until you need to service anything inside. If you do buy the rails, the bottom machine can support the next machine until you get those screws tightened.

Question 2

Did anyone try eatx?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will accommodate an EATX board.  I have a dual CPU Opteron board (H8DAE-2) in my home media server using this case - no issues.

Question 3

Can you remove the 3.5" HD cages and replace them with Hot Swap Cages? Measuring the cages in the pictures it appears hot swap cages would fit.

Accepted Answer

Yes, I was able to reuse my (non-Rosewill branded) hot swap cages from my server tower and put into this case. In order to mount them securely, you can reuse the thin metal rails that are used to secure the pre-installed hard drive cages/fans and put them on the side of the hot swap cages. It will then slide right into the case and click into the case. It was a tight fit but they are very secure without requiring any screws for mounting.

Question 4

Can i remove the HDD trays and front fans and mount 12 5.25 bays?  I have 3 iStarUSA Hot-Swap HDD Cages and want to mount them in this case.

Accepted Answer

See the RSV-L4412 which already does this pre-configured.
