I think it would have got in easy. They didn't try hard enough. 

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

Unboxing the small box with parts.
 
The first thing I did when I received the package was open the box on top that holds the HDD's CPU's SSD's and BBU.

After opening the box with the small parts I continued with the Supermicro SuperServer 6027TR-DTRF:

It came in a lovely double box.

The 2 brown boxes on the side contained accessories such as the power cables and screws.

The 4 boxes in the middle contain the heat-sinks.

After removing the small boxes the server was revealed with the rack rails on the side.

 

 

 

Here are some shots of the Supermicro SuperServer 6027TR-DTRF:

Great harware! Can't wait for more updates. Did you ever consider buying used servers (except for the harddrives) to save money?

I used to always buy used servers.

For example my old ESX server was a DL160G6.

 

However before building this server I ran into some money and I always wanted to build a massive array with nice Supermicro gear hence the expensive new stuff.

Can your next tutorial be "How to run into some money". 

Unless it's a bank robbery tutorial.... In which case, maybe make a youtube video instead of just a write-up. 

CPU i5 4430 3Ghz | Ram: 16GB DDR3 1600 | GPU: GTX 650 Ti 1GB | Mobo: H87N-Wifi | Case: White Bitfenix Prodigy | Boot Drive: 120GB 840 Evo (Mac OS X) 120gb OCZ Vertex 3 (Windows) | Games Drive: 640GB WD Green | OS: Windows 8 & OS X 10.9.1

I love all technology. The perfection of macs for my designer side, and the hardware and fun of tinkering on the of the pc side. We can have it all, just not at the same time.

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it
