In the past, I have always used full size server boards (E-ATX) in my Supermicro Chassis. However, I'm working on a backup node and I really don't want all that extra power going to waste. Has anyone ever...
Put a M-ATX Motherboard like this: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C202_C204/X9SCL_-F.cfm
Into a Supermicro Chassis like this: http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/846/SC846TQ-R900.cfm
The obvious question I have is, will it "fit"/Align correctly? - Mainly around the various air ducts/shrouds those cases have.
Second, would the board align with the expansion slots correctly? -- I need two cards, a M1015 and an Intel SAS expander.
Finally, would things like fans still function correctly? I have never paid to much attention to how those hook up on my current systems.
I appreciate the help!
