SuperMicro Chassis ID - CSE-836BE16-R920B

[dabl]

Can anyone please confirm/deny this listing for a SuperMicro CSE-836BE16-R920B looks to be the real thing with the 920W SQ power supplies and the option of adding two hot-swap 2.5" hard disk drives accessible from the rear of the chassis using the MCP-220-83605-0N kit?

I've seen comments saying that when one sees the grounding lug on the panel below the power supplies in the seller's picture that indicates it is not in fact a B chassis.

I also noticed the manual that covers all the 836 models shows a cable routing port near the power supply for the B chassis that doesn't seem to be present in the seller's pics. I have an inquiry into the seller.

As I expected the seller got back to me with the admission the chassis in this listing was mis-identified.

To the ebay seller's great credit they immediately de-activated that listing and later found me a real one with the rear drives installed.

Woo hoo, squeeky wheel and all that

No cooling shroud in the pictures on the new link. Make sure you get one (if you want / need it) - they're a pain to try to purchase separately.

Thanks for the heads up, had not noticed that.

As it happens the X9SRL-F I bought came with a Dynatron heatsink and fan combo so in theory I won't need the shroud.

I have a 933T-R760 chassis with a shroud but it seems to have a different part number (MCP-310-38002-0N) than the one for the 836BE16-R920B (MCP-310-39001-0N)
