minus-squareBluelinkfedilink24•edit-226 days agoDone something similar when my CPU cooler didn’t fit the HP case
minus-square@jaybone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•27 days agoIs that some kind of blade server? Doesn’t that make it like not rack with other blades?
minus-square@SpeakinTelnet@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink3•27 days agoNo it’s just a 1U server. It does mean that the next 3U over the server can’t be fully used (switches would probably clear). That server pretty much replaced my whole stack except for my NAS so I had space available.
minus-squareAwkwardLookMonkeyPuppetlinkfedilinkEnglish3•27 days agoThat probably worked way better than having it in a thermally constrained environment.
minus-square@SpeakinTelnet@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink6•27 days agoIt’s also way more quiet than those damn pesky 1U fans and I had the space available in my rack
minus-square@olosta@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•26 days agoSo … you have to remove your CPU cooler to open the case? That does not look very convenient.
minus-square@SpeakinTelnet@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•26 days agoThe top has just enough slide room to disengage from the chassis and be pulled upward. Being able to hotswap components is a requirementfor my case.
minus-square@tetris11@lemmy.mllinkfedilink1•27 days agoI guess airflow is airflow, don’t matter which way
minus-square@Lupus@feddit.orglinkfedilink4•27 days agoYup, the back plate for my CPU cooler wouldn’t fit because of some weird struts my case has, so I cut open the case, just enough to fit it.

Like a hotrod?
Exactly!
