This chassis is massive overkill for an M2x. An M2x can easily fit in a 2.5U by 400mm deep, with a full dual-mono PSU. But don't let that stop you. ;)

Not quite sure what a 2.5U is since one isn't listed in the store.

I guess I have been assuming that this 400mm 4U would have the same UMS drilled heatsinks and back plate as the standard Deluxe 4U and at a price in between the Deluxe 4U and Deluxe 5U. If I am reading the pricing in the store correctly, adding those features to a 3U or 2U quickly boosts the price about the Deluxe versions.

But you are right, the M2x doesn't need the height of a 4U but a dual mono build does need that 400mm depth, or at least my fat hands need that much space to connect the wires.
