Sorry Carl, I thought you had one of these in your possession (hence your review). Dont worry about it now – picked up my T300 this morning from the post office. Modding it looks like it’s gonna be hell (well, modding is fun, but you know what i mean haha). The motherboard i assume sits on a tray which then mounts inside. (There are no mounting holes drilled for mobo standoffs) Oh joy! Oh bliss!

Hi Adam. I don’t have one of these servers to hand, so I can’t tell you I’m afraid! If I remember I’ll have a look next time I’m at a site that has one.

Hey Carl, could you tell me what size fan is used underneath the harddrive rack? It’s hard to tell from the pictures if its an 80mm or 92mm.

I picked up a T300 chassis on eBay to mod.

I picked up one of these from Dell, added 16GB more RAM and replaced the dell wind turbine pwm fans with scythe fans of the same size.

Lots of drive space and RAM for Hyper-V and the new fans make it nearly silent.

As usual with Dell’s servers, everything is extremely well put together and designed.

Thank you so much for this post. I am currently migrating from SBS2003 to SBS2008 (on a T300).

I received two discs, one call Dell Management Console and one called Dell OpenManage Software. Can you tell me what these are?

I do want to be able to monitor the SAS6iR RAID from within Windows. Will one of these do that for me?
