My Dell T3400 has 2 SATA slots at the bottom of the case, which is OK -- but 
the drives stick out so far that even with right-angle SATA cables there's a 
bit of pressure on them.

It's been running like that since 2012, so I guess it'll hang in there a 
little longer. I love the system, but with me working from home, 8GB of RAM 
is turning out to be a pain.

It could allegedly go up to 16GB, but DDR2 ECC RAM costs enough to make me 
want to just buy a T3500 that takes cheaper, Non-ECC DDR3 RAM.



.... XT or AT, it makes a big difference.
