Long story short, I was able to nab a 4u server for free from my (old) job when they did a systems upgrade. Components inside sucked but the case was solid. I'd really like to ID the case if possible, though it's not technically necessary. Any help would be appreciated, I'll post a few links I've found that contain images of it and can provide pics and info from the unit I have if need be. Sadly, the case has no markings as to manufacturer (that I can find) as it's branded/rebranded(?) as Inter-Tel so I don't have a lot to go on, sadly.

It's a 4U unit and that looks like it. One thing I'm trying to figure out is if this case was an Inter-Tel special or just a rebrand of another case.

Just got my Plex/File server relocated into this case (trying to go all rack stuff these days) and with the addition of an actively cooled 5.25" 3 bay to 4 3.5" drive adapter, I got it done. I wish I had taken a few pics b/c it came out better than I expected. 2 8tb Red's and 2 3tb HGST drives plus a 512gb SSD for passive scratch duties and she's doing fine. Sometimes it's nice to have humble storage needs heh Drives run a bit warmer here but I haven't gotten any exhaust fans bought/installed yet so that's partly to blame. Drives are also packed closer together now than they were in the Fractal R5 I had things in before.

Anywho, any information I can gather on this ol' girl is a plus in my book!
 
i think its AIC and maybe relabeled by several...

RMC-4B, RMC-4S-0-R, RMC4S are all other variants, p/n or model names too.
 
Wow, just look at those aged components! That really dates this chassis :LOL:

I'd probably personally recommend not installing hard drives where they have the single WD drive here, virtually no cooling!

A couple shots I just snapped of the install I did. Had a tower cooler on the 6700k CPU but it was too tall, sadly. So, for now at least, a Dell CPU cooler off of a spare PC is taking over duties. Oddly enough, CPU temps aren't suffering pretty much at all since most time is spent relatively idle.

Managed to find a 3.5" USB 3 adapter to install in the front open slot since I do hook up external SSD's and HD's on occasion so the extra bandwidth is nice to have. Turning up the Noctua 120mm fan I have blowing into the hard drives a bit without really increasing noise dropped HD temps a bit, though still not where I'd like them to be. HD's were at about 85-95°F in the R5, now sitting at about 98-109°F in this case. They are spaced much tighter now tho so I'm sure that contributes to the increased temps. Still further BIOS config to do on fan speed to help with this. It's oddly quieter than I expected, as well. Not dead silent but with some fan curve config, it's def manageable. Loudest thing atm is the CPU fan but that's something I plan to replace as the Dell solution is certainly temporary.

those temps, if im converting in my head correctly (from F to C), are totally fine.

Aye, I know they're fine, I'm just a bit anal when it comes to that kinda thing. 42°-44°C is fine, I just personally prefer them a bit lower than that when possible.
