Nice, functional design. However, a few drawbacks...
I got this case for a compact tour where i thought i'd mount drawers for mics and cables for the bottom 10 U's , then IEM-systems, connection plates, power rail and a racklight.
The rack itself feels a lot more stable and rugged than I thought it would be, especially after everything is mounted inside it. In my rack, I have a connection plate at the very bottom with inputs for IEM, antenna and a power con in that feeds the whole rack. It certainly has enough depth to do all the cabling in the back which always is a good thing!
Something to note when buying a rack of this size is that, depending on what you fill it upp with, it can become very heavy. So if you are in a situation where you will need to lift your equipment up or down any stairs, I would consider buying a smaller rack on wheels, and then a bunch 2-3 U racks to stack on top, that way it's easier to break apart for lifting.
For me, a big selling point is the possibility to make the lid into a table. That way, I can use the rack both for back line work and as my mixer table if I can't fit the rack on stage. It also makes for a smart little "office area" if you need to.
I also like the little surface on top of the rack that you can use for work or just to put whatever you need to on top.
The major drawback with this case, which unfortunately is a very big one, is the way the legs for the table fold in. Mainly, what they do is take up a lot of space in the lid, which means, you can't have any rack unit that is built to stick out a little. For example, mounted a Adam Hall LED racklight at the top, but then couldn't close the lid because the legs interfered with the "lamp screen". So that is something to consider when getting this product. Solution to my problem was just to mount a normal LED-strip at the top of the rack.
Overall, a great product, it does what I want it to. Except for the problem with the lamp, I am very happy with this rack!
