    48 Drive 4U Chassis: IBM Slicestor 3448 aka Chenbro RM43348

    ooof.. it might be a incompatible cpu / memory combo.. did u try connecting to the serial port? it has a lom.. it seems to also be very finicky about being plugged in... maksure u plut both psu's into a switch ( surge protecter, etc) then flip the switch to give power to both at the same time...

    it would clear the lid, its a low profile bracket just for compatibility with most server cards, but there is about 2 inch's of clearance above it.. but the cpu's are directly behind the pci slots, so it would have to be 1 of those short cards, so u could probably put like a 1660ti in it, .. im...

    got this into my rack finally, decided in the end just to go with the 3d prints provided by llowrey. i dont have a 3d printer and used craftcloud3d.com and it cost about 60 dollars to have all 40 sets ( 80 pieces ) printed in white ABS and shipped. plenty enough cheaper than any used caddy's i...

    did not get them yet.... but i got a bunch of caddy's that i tried... if u cut the bottom off a dell optiplex caddy (blue plastic things) it fits perfectly snug. nothing else i tried even remotely fits. a hp 774026-001 is to small.. u could probably put 2 dabs of hot glue on both sides so...
