Indeed, mooli.org.uk has had a chunk cut out of a Molex power connector
feeding its RAID array because it fouled one of the DIMM slots. Similarly,
my home fileserver has had to have similar treatment on its SATA port
because it's fouled by actually putting a hard disk rather than a floppy
drive in the second drive bay.

PC manufacturers seem to come from the "Design? We've heard of it" school of
thought.
