Nice and clean. Amazing cable management.

I have to ask, why the giant 4u cases if you have such a minimal set up inside (no dgpu, 4 nvme drives, no hdds)? Did you get a smoking deal on them (I got one that looks to be the same for $50 😎), or just to future proof in case you want to throw 40 hdds in them some day?

It's nice not to have to fit everything into 1U or 2U enclosures, and yes, also a bit of future-proofing.

Plus, space for big Noctuas to minimize noise? (That the way I went.)

That’s fair. Must be nice and cool in there for all your components haha.
