1. Yes I believe it's the same.
2. You only need 1 M1015 card though a spare on the closet is always good. Use both ports and connect the two cables to the backplane. This is all you need to do.
3. I don't know what fan wall he is using in the video. Any of the fans can be replaced with less noisy fans however your results will be your own. Personally, hacking up a solid chassis like these like this is not something I'd do. Please be aware this is not a low noise chassis and the fans and PSUs are designed to cool the system properly. By hacking them up the system will not pull as much air through the system for cooling.
4. Nope, just order the screws off eBay. When I was looking I seem to remember shipping was a long time so consider that.
5. No, I don't believe the bays will take the 2.5" drives without extra brackets. **Note however there is a tray you can order that inserts into the rear of the chassis that DOES hold 2 x 2.5" drives. I don't remember the SuperMicro part number but an email or call to them would likely be easy enough.. Ran about $50 bucks iirc. If you come by the part number please post it here for me. :D Someone else here might know what it is and toss it up.
