Overview
The Chenbro SR215 is a 20-inch short-depth tower enclosure aimed at the segment between a desktop workstation case and a full-depth rack server. It accepts standard ATX and micro ATX motherboards, which keeps the bill of materials conventional while delivering server-grade cooling, redundant power and hot-swap storage expansion.
Unlike fixed workstation chassis, the SR215 is designed around optional modules. A four-drive 3.5-inch internal HDD module with its own 80 x 38 mm fan can be added for bulk storage, or swapped for a four-bay external hot-swap module when drives must be serviced without opening the enclosure. Chenbro's SK628 2.5-inch NVMe hot-swap kit adds flash capacity on the same platform.
Cooling runs front-to-back with two 80 mm PWM fans at the front and two at the rear, and the chassis supports either a 1200 W ATX power supply or an 800 W 1+1 CRPS pair when redundancy is required. Eight full-height expansion slots leave room for GPUs, NICs or capture cards without resorting to risers.
The SR215 completes Chenbro's SR-series AI tower enclosures alongside the SR113 and SR115, giving integrators a consistent pedestal platform from entry configurations up to multi-drive storage builds.
Key Benefits
20-inch short depth suits benches, cabinets and shallow racks. Optional storage modules scale from two 5.25-inch bays to a 4-bay 3.5-inch hot-swap array. Redundant power option via 800 W 1+1 CRPS or a single 1200 W ATX supply. Server-grade airflow from four PWM fans across front and rear. Eight full-height slots for GPUs and add-in cards without risers.
Applications
AI workstation and small-server builds, on-premise edge inference nodes, video storage and processing towers, lab and engineering workstations, and small enterprise file or application servers that must fit a 20-inch depth budget.
