Great choice for a small setup
Tanj 09.07.2022
I wanted to put together a small Eurorack setup and this case is perfect. It's small & portable, plus the wood is unfinished so you can paint or varnish it any way you like.
It has just about enough power to run enough modules to fill it, I would have preferred a power switch which is the only reason it drops a star (the power is always on when it is plugged in) but it works great.

I intentionally wanted a case that would limit the amount of modules I could buy because Eurorack has the capacity to be a never-ending cash sinkhole! So this case forces you to think carefully about what kind of setup you need and to choose your modules carefully.

I was going to buy the Cre8 NiftyCase, which is a bargain especially considering it has MIDI-CV conversion built-in but unfortunately it was too shallow for some of the modules I wanted and I didn't want that limitation. So I bought this with a separate Kenton MIDI-CV converter.

When buying a Eurorack case, there are three main things to consider:
1. The depth - different modules have different depths and some shallow cases won't house certain modules. This has the depth needed for pretty much any module, although the right-hand side of the case has power components on the right side so the depth is more limited for a few HP on this side of the case. This shouldn't be a problem, most people will choose modules of different depths so you just put the shallower ones on this side.
2. Power rating - a case's power rating needs to put out enough current to power all the modules you are planning to buy, you need to add up all the power requirements of all the modules you are considering for purchase to make sure the case can power them all.
3. Size - different modules are different sizes in width, so you need to add up the width (measured in HP) of all the modules you are planning to buy & make sure you can fit them all in.

If this case fulfills all of that criteria for you, it's an excellent choice and I can fully recommend it. Good luck and have fun on your Eurorack journey!

Almost perfect, but really good for its price
Korkri 14.06.2018
This is a really basic modular case, power is not huge but it's way enough for a case of that size.
Only two drawbacks:
-The modules get sometimes stuck as the space between the two rails is a little bit too big, but this not such a big problem.
- The PSU brick is attached on the right side of the case, in line with the AC cord connector. It is a bit a pity as it prevents the installation of deep modules on the right side. If they would have put the brick on the back inside next to the PCB it would have been perfect.
They also could have used shrouded header connector for the PSU for the careless ones that could connect their modules the wrong way but if you are used to it, it is not a big deal :D
I would buy that case again, only reason I'd see to separate with it would be to get a bigger one.

It's reliable Doepfer
SunPulse 15.03.2021
I bought this case for expanding my modulation sources and it does well. I don't know how it is for audio modules as I don't have any in it. My only wish is that it doesn't have a power switch. The one thing I did encounter which wasn't a biggie, I live in Canada and it shipped with a European style power cord. But a regular North American cord plugs into it, no worries.

Just buy
Nate C 20.02.2019
best eurorack case/power supply on the market. Dual voltage for use outside of Europe without a converter, just need an adapter. rainmaker + this case = guaranteed satisfaction.
