I too would like to join the ranks of the c8220/C6220 club.
I have here a C6220 9N44V with a single e5-2697V2 and 8gb rdimm as test ram.
Hard drive is some Maxtor 250gb I found lying around.
Built a custom water loop, and the fan controller can be seen with its lcd above the radiator fans. Left the heatsink for cpu socket 2 installed to protect the pins until I install a second processor.
It chugs along with Server 2012R2.



Dead simple, strapped 12v to the power connector, jumped the fpconnecter and it started right up.
Going to reinstall the pcie riser so I can put in a low-profile card.
Funny thing, the bios has a setting for NT4 compatibility. I'm thinking about looking for a NT4 Sata driver just to see if I can actually install it.
EDIT: And the addon gpu works flawlessly. It's an old Nvidia 8400GS, but it works.
