Anyone found a SAS HBA that works with the DS380 and doesnt require the removal of the drive bay adapter?
When you say you notched a piece of the plastic, you mean on the DS380 or the HBA?I notched a piece of plastic and had no problems.

See the circled area. Having a cardboard piece there ensures that airflow is directed through the HDDs. I am using a 3d printed part.

Sorry. That is a Xeon D 1521 board and has only one PCIEx16 slot. The system is configured with an IBM M1015 in the PCIE slot and and intel expander next to it (Powered via molex) so that I can use 8x HDD and 4x ssd in the case.What motherboard is that? i need a small motherboard and dual 8x pci-e slots
Just seen that thread, as recently both the case thinking that was good, but I am having temperature problems. Coming for a pc-q25b that was very good but got smashed traveling with it.I drilled anyways.
Best with drill press but I did it all by hand.Just seen that thread, as recently both the case thinking that was good, but I am having temperature problems. Coming for a pc-q25b that was very good but got smashed traveling with it.
@Ayugai Michiko, How you managed to do that perfect holes in the case??? Is amazing!! Have to do that too... and change the fans, I guess.
That's impressive. Don't know how you can make it so perfect, and without bending the metal...Best with drill press but I did it all by hand.
Do you have a picture for what you did exactly with the cardboard mounted? What exactly are your fan models? Did it solve anything?You'll get more noticeable temp drops if you create a shroud for the side fans.
Creating a Cooling Duct for the SilverStone DS380B
After I noticed the HDDs getting really hot in the SilverStone DS380B, I 3D-designed and 3D-printed a cooling duct.blog.briancmoses.com
I did the same thing, but cut up cardboard instead of 3d print.
Metal is pretty sturdy. Prepunch and drill slowlyThat's impressive. Don't know how you can make it so perfect, and without bending the metal...

And another little question. Looks like the case is really loud. Have you use any noise dampening. Sometimes with the vibrations sounds, metallic... I regret to have bought this case, seriously.
Thanks
38 holes, I guess you used a stencil to make all the holes even. All are perfectly aligned, that's impressive. Very patient.Metal is pretty sturdy. Prepunch and drill slowly
