Done something similar when my CPU cooler didn't fit the HP case

a 1U server with a cutout to allow a full size CPU cooler to protrude from the case

Is that some kind of blade server? Doesn’t that make it like not rack with other blades?

[-] SpeakinTelnet@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

No 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.

So .. you have to remove your CPU cooler to open the case? That does not look very convenient.

The 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.

I guess airflow is airflow, don't matter which way

[-] Lupus@feddit.org 4 points 11 months ago

Yup, 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.

For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
