Hey guys,

I have an HP z420 i planned to use for my unraid setup and went with the SuperMicro CSE-M35T-1B.

Unfortunately, this hot swap enclosure fits EXTREMELY tight, and runs into the motherboard.

Has anybody found other hot swap enclosures that do fit this case properly? 

My only ideas are taking a dremel to the hot swap cage and trying to get it to fit, or finding a new case to move everything over to, but then I wouldnt be able to mount the plastics for things like the RAM cooling

I have a iStarUSA BPU-350SATA-BPL in mine. I rotated the 5.25 bays to have the drive trays horizontal.  It clears the mobs fine. It was still a tight fit and I had to "trim" on the long hp screws so they wouldn't interfere with the trays.

 

I'll try to take a picture later if you'd like.
