I am not sure if you are following me. On most (all??) HP kit I have seen, there are 3 holes at each corner of the bottom, where is possible to fit feet if one is going to use it on a desktop, rather than a rack. This unit does not have those holes, so it would be impossible to fit the usual HP feet on it. Looking around, I have 15 bits of HP kit, all of which have holes in the corner for feet. But this 58503A, with the Chinese box, does not have the holes. I don't know whether the 85053A is supposed to have them, or whether this is just a flaw in the design of the counterfeit.
