Unfortunately a no for me. I emailed Quanta and a few of their distributors asking to buy a few dozen (hoping quantity would help grease the wheels and I could just resell the rest). I haven't gotten a response and at this point likely don't anticipate one.

When I get my servers in, I'll look into 3D printing. If I do get the time to do it, I'll share the .stl file.
Have you tried ordering 1 of these tray from dell to see if it will work? Dell MD3060E PowerVault Caddy Drive Bracket Tray 3.5” 4U 60x Drive SAS NetApp LS 730544134694 | eBay
Very interested to see if that tray will work with the chassis.
Don't believe those will work for it' they are more customized.
Pretty much it just has a little caddie that has one hole that the drive sits into and it allows it to push and lock into place.
If anyone is still interested in these, rhinotechnology accepted $190/ea for two units.
They no longer come with internal trays or rails, but there are still 6 2.5" SATA trays included and 4 x 10GbE.

I got an extra chassis with the expander board. PM me if you are in the US and are still looking for one.
These are great units; while I wouldn't grab any without all the needed parts, these are still at an awesome deal for what they are.
A little bit of 3D printing or CNC can get you a nice backplate as well if you wish to transplant into a reguler (maybe a Supermicro) chassis.
Curious ? for those that own, the motherboard is it special to the case? could it be pulled and used in a different case? are the connectors standard? Any dimensions on the board?
if you all have any upclose pictures that would be useful as well

DA0S1QTH8C0 QUANTA MAINBOARD FOR SD1Q-1ULH | eBay is listed as "MAINBOARD FOR SD1Q-1ULH" so should be that board.Curious ? for those that own, the motherboard is it special to the case? could it be pulled and used in a different case? are the connectors standard? Any dimensions on the board?

Ive also been eyeing the board for the cpu at that price, looks like a nice lab node without much ilo/idrac etc overhead wattage.
Yea i was thinking the same but from what i see the PSU Connector is Proprietary based on the look its 16 pin with awkward cut holes could be a 12V only system but would have to do more digging to see if its even worth it...
Of the 2 I just received both did not POST and receive DHCP on
Did you receive these in working condition? I just got 2 from core4 and they're both not POSTing or getting DHCP on BMC. Giving an L shape then single led repeating pattern on status LEDs. Anyone have a decoder for the LED patterns?
Both of my units from this recent purchase came up with video on the VGA output. The only issue was dead CMOS batteries.
My first server from last year failed to POST and had no VGA output. I think I ended up clearing the BIOS/BMC settings via a jumper and eventually getting in that way.
I have replaced the CMOS battery and tried the bios default jumper circled here (power off, move jumper, power on, power off, move jumper, power on) with no luck on 3 different units. Were there any other jumpers that helped or anything you tried? I'm suspicious that all 3 of my units would be bad. Tried with both samsung ( M386A4G40DM0-CPB ) and micron ( ct32g4rfd4213.36fb1 ) dimms. No DHCP on BMC. I also tried plugging into the mini-usb port to see if it came up as a serial console but I didn't see anything with lsusb.
The machine starts up with fans full on, mobo has a little activity then does a reset where it cycles through a few LED patterns and then settles into repeating this one

Just to double check... those aren't LRDIMMs right? The Xeon D series doesn't support them.
This is definitely an important note, I bet there are other people that didn't notice this either in this thread....
Turns out I have 1 board that did not work with either and is DOA, but testing the 2nd worked with the micron ( ct32g4rfd4213.36fb1 ) RDIMM but only when in the proper position. The Samsung ( M386A4G40DM0-CPB ) was LRDIMM and did not boot.
In case anyone has troubles getting into BMC like me due to DHCP issues, try reconfiguring it in Bios. Mine was set to a static IP outside my subnet range, and the management NIC was configured to be one of the SFP+ ports. Go to:
Bios -> Server Mgmt -> BMC Network Configuration
From there set the NIC to "Dedicated NIC" (this maps to the one RJ-45 gigabit jack on the server) and set dhcp configuration to "dynamic on next reset". From there reboot and give it 5min to start BMC. You should be able to return to that bios screen to see the IP that was assigned by DHCP.
