A 2.5U is for when a 2U is too small, and a 3U is larger than necessary. They do exist, just not in the store.
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.
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.
This chassis is 500mm deep. Not 400mm.
I thought I would have a ton of space, guess what??
I don’t... but I’m loving it!!
