    Mod of Supermicro SuperChassis 933T

    Does somebody know if I can mod a Supermicro 933T and exchange the triple-redundant (Sp382-ts 380W) for a p920-SQ and exchanging the powerboard. Is there a lot of modification needed? If not, somebody knows if the fans of Sp382-ts 380W are very noisy?

    Hi, I have a supermicro 2U case which I love, but it's in my office and it's a little loud for office work (can even be heard over my switch, which is also loud). My girlfriend has also been complaining about it recently. I replaced (most) the fans in the switch with noctunas, which I had to...

    Cutting apart a Supermicro case ... experiences?

    Hi, so I have this strange layout Supermicro motherboard that I got cheap on eBay. Thought it was worth it at $35 for an E3 board, but it's turning out to be more work than it's worth. I have it in a standard ATX case but I can't use any of the expansion slots because it requires a riser...
