Hmm, I guess I was actually looking at the SuperServer 5017C-LF page: http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1U/5017/SYS-5017C-LF.cfm It has the X9SCL-F motherboard, a similar chassis with a 200w power supply, and indicates max tdp <= 45w. I asked supermicro support about the 510T-203B chassis with the same motherboard, and they told me it only supported up to 45w as well. Dunno, better safe than sorry, the T version is about the same price as the regular.
