08- Bays In Stages of Assembly

Though only 4 of the SuperMicro cans got temperature sensors, I replaced the fans on all of them with Antecs, and reversed the direction of airflow. After feeling the heat from a single can, I can't believe that all of the manufacturers draw this heated air INTO the case.
 
The fans will eventually be controlled by the Sunbeamtech controller; but, they're powered by the cans for now.
 
Kudos to SuperMicro. One of the fan clips was cracked - probably in shipping. Instead of RMAing it through the vendor, I wrote to SuperMicro, explained the situation, and they shipped a new clip via 2 day express. My thanks to them for the no nonsense handling of the situation, and not asking me to mail back the broken one.
 
(Initially, "support" told me to send my email to "rma", instead of just forwarding it themselves... I was a little concerned about things to come; but, "rma" replied within hours, and the situation was resolved)
