those are not so reliable. That wire looks seriously sketchy.
The cut mod is quite easy to do and those NC360t cards are cheap.
You can always get the ML110 G7 it has the same hot swap bays standard, option for RPS, tons of cpu/ram and slots! for not much more money.
I did the x1 mod to the NC360T and it works with esxi. Also threw in P410/512 FBWC which ran forever in a data closet (cool room about 70F max). 2 constellation SAS 1TB drives and esxi boot off SLC usb stick.
worked awesome! just the cpu was too slow and 16gb of ecc ram is too tight to live on.
