RackBrute 6U : Good eurorack case - very good value for money

3 years ago

I now have 4 of these cases. Like them quite a bit. They look nice, are made out of good quality materials (box itself is made of aluminium, side panels of wood, stand/bracket is made of cast aluminium). M3 mounts is of the sliding rail type (much prefer this over the sliding nut type).

Two aspects that could be better:

#1 5HP power unit. This is an odd number and to fill up the rack row with the power - you will need module with an odd number (3 or 5 typically). Not a big deal but an "integrated" power would avoid this and give the user 5 more HP for modules.

Some have reported noise bleeding through from the PSU. I have had no such problems with any of my 4 units.

#2 The bracket/stand. It looks like it would be easy to "clamp down" the red wingnuts you see in the picture to make the stand sit at an angle. However, they have designed it so that it will not. There is no "ratcheting" mechanism or enough friction in the joint for this to happen. So, if you want it at any other angle than "mostly upright" or "flat on the table" you will need to prop it up - or risk the rack falling over!
