    P920 5.25" bays with and Icy Dock

    Lenovo Thinkstation 920s. @CyklonDX I thought about wedging something in there (it's a fairly tight fit not sure velcro would fit).

    P920 5.25" bays with and Icy Dock

    Just got my hands on my first batch of P920s and I really like these so I'm going to keep one or two for myself. I went put in an Icy Dock to the 5.25" bay but while I can hear and feel where it's supposed to lock in place it doesn't. There is a bit of room on the sides which makes me thing...

    JBOD chassis control fans

    JBOD chassis control fans

    JBOD chassis control fans

    Been consolidating into 36-45 drive JBODs. I have been running them using the CSE-PTJBOD-CB2 powerboards. The biggest issue I have is the noise of the fans. Since there is no motherboard on these units there is no IPMI I can use to lower the fan speed. I tried the Noctua speed reduction...

    [WTB][US-CA] 32GB DDR4 ECC 2400/2666/2933 sticks

    PCSP on eBay has them for $35 (Micron 32GB PC4-2666V-R) but they accept a BO of $30. I would rather give my $ to someone here but I would like to stay close to $1/Gb. Hazily2019 has some one sale so I'll wait to see what he still has available on Monday.

    [WTB][US-CA] 32GB DDR4 ECC 2400/2666/2933 sticks

    Looking for a decent price on these sticks. Prefer 32GB but would look at 16Gb if it was a very good price. Thank you

    Mellanox SX6036, Rail Kit

    Did you follow a guide on modding the fans? What did it take time to do? What do you still need to do on them?
