How much?!?!
Home review only, I have not gigged this yet.
First, someone commented that the case is quite flimsy... well when there is nothing in it, it's obviously not the strongest of devices. I wouldn't say it's weak though. When there are a few devices racked, it holds up fine to the point that sometimes I sit on it when playing. Probably not the best thing to do but it hardly flexes so I feel OK doing it.
I have the following devices racked
- Power conditioner
- Power distributor
- Shelf
- Lexicon reverb
- Engl e840
- Engl e530
- Peavey Rockmaster
It holds all of these devices fine, the width is perfect and the depth is more than adequate. There is plenty of room behind my e840.
The doors affix nicely to the body via four rotating butterfly catches, they have holes in so look like they can be locked..... not tried it. One of the doors has netting on it with a zip so you can keep any extra cables or bits and pieces secure while travelling.
The handles on the sides are removable so you can replace them if they get destroyed by a particularly heavy cab xD
The branding is not intrusive, just a Thomann name moulded into the doors. I'm a fan of not having huge MESA/BOOGIE - PEAVEY - MARSHALL stickers on anything so this is a plus for me.
The top and bottom are mirrored, I assume so that you can stack these things if you have a ton of equipment.
Empty, the case is very lightweight while still feeling like it provides adequate protection when devices are racked.
Oh, i nearly forgot... It's also the cheapest one that I could find ANYWHERE. If it was badly made, I would have marked it down, but it's not badly made, it's just a budget item! For the price, it's amazing.
The only downside for me is the lack of wheels, but again, it was not advertised with wheels so I didn't expect it to come with them. I will make a skateboard for it when it becomes too heavy for me to lift :)
I can see myself using this for a long time to come.

Robust and lightweight bit of kit!
Once everything was bolted in this made for a great small starter rack. Solid case with plenty of storage for cables etc provided.
Really good value for money!

good quality, cheap, realiable
This thing is great, it's cheap, it's realiable, i'ts light and it's strury enough to protect the gear. I've beend using it for behrginer xr18, ha8000 and bunch of stuff put into it, pedals, laptop, cables, repair set, etc etc.
best of all this thing is light, easy to carry and built like a tank.

Rack case for "Newbies"
Good case for small money. I use already two years.... not much visible signs of wear. I have installed three power amps, two controllers, Feedback destroyer,crossover and power distributor, ultrapatch. No problems at all : stable and solid from venue to venue :)

VERY GOOD FOR PLASTIC
I'm wary of buying plastic cases but this one is really tough and much more economical than wooden, I have had two for over a year and no damage whatsoever.

Excellent quality case
I purchased this case for housing radio mic receivers, and teh case is so light it makes transporting very simple. case is also shipped with bag of mounting bolts etc however if you plan to fill the case just with 1U units you will need more bolts

Great case!
I would say "Great case for the money.", but it's a great case period. I especially like that the the screw threads are mounted in the case and not a piece I have to insert per screw. I have two of these. They are every bit good as the SKB cases I own.

Good
Very good, it makes our church set up easy, only the plasticky is not as strong as I thought, but the value is better than the price.
