Anyone else using this server chassis RA448A00 with SSI EEB (12"x13") board and dual CPU with heatsink/fans? I plan to do so using 2x Noctual nh-u9dxi4 on ASROCK EP2C612 WS motherboard. Based on one review here, it seems the external drive bays once populated might conflict with the heatsink/fan for 2nd cpu closest to the bays?

Accepted Answer

I paired this with the ASUS Z10PE-D16 WS and the Noctua NH-D9L.  With my motherboard, there are 2 RAM slots that conflict with the bottom two 5.25" drive bays, and I had to grind part of the 5.25" chasis away (though it was very small) to get one of my 4 RAM sticks in. I still can't use the bottom 5.25" drive bay. If newegg allows, I'll post some pictures later.
