Awesome article. I'm building in this unit now.
I have what is perhaps a stupid question.
How did y'all get units with perforated top covers? Mine is a solid piece of metal. I'd really prefer the perforated version for ventilation.
EDIT: The perforated covers might be for the G9 800? I'm confused now.
Also EDIT: By default, there is a lot of corporate LAN admin stuff turned on that I don't think I need, but I'm afraid to touch it in case I brick the thing and can't reset the BIOS. In particular: can I disable HP Secure Platform Management and still use the vPro quasi-IPMI if I upgrade to an 12700T with vPro?
