Remember this also has a custom closed loop water cooler. Not a high volume unit since there is only a low few thousand machines that can use it. Need to add that in the price. Board is likely $350+ if you could buy it. Running monero mining this beats dual E5-2698 v4 at lower power and cost.

PMs responded to, bump and update - 8 cards remaining.

I have 10 more NVIDIA GRID M40's cards for sale. Note these are NOT Tesla M40 models and we still do not have VDI working (we do not have access to the NVIDIA driver/ tools yet.) Also note you will likely have to make some BIOS settings changes to make these work. We have been able to use...

While it has been some time since I have been active on [H], I heard about this and did want to stop in and say my prayers are with you and your family. You had a major impact on developing my passion for servers, and I know that was likely due to Grandma's support.

Bumping.

I actually use it as a local Hyper-V host. Instead of having two boxes, I just use it for development instances. Cool to be able to spin-up a little hadoop cluster in VMs :-) @Richneerd - if you can find something I need I would consider.

Bumping.

Hi all, Selling my old workstation. You will have to add the GPU and drives but this is an awesome quiet and stable machine. Key goals of the system were to get many PCIe lanes, more than 32GB of ram and keep it quiet (<38dba) and compact. I have limited office space so while I wanted...

Just wanted to update so someone does not make the same mistake I did while putting a review unit together: I bought a Seasonic SS-300SFD and thought the fan bulge would fit around the PSU mounting point in the DS380. That did not work at all. Posted a picture and ordered another FSP 450w...

Hello specs: http://www.servethehome.com/hp-proliant-microserver-gen8-specs-leaked

Some of the auctions do (I have a search on the STH forum post). For the rails I've bought I've paid $50/ set. There's also info on how people are installing LSI 9202-16e cards to give 16x external SAS ports to a node to give fast external storage, then using it to serve iSCSI, CIFS and etc...

Ah... tried to clarify that in my message above. You can use as either but from a cost perspective, I would suggest using it as an input.

If you are using the HP SAS expander I'd just use the external SFF-8088 port to each HP SAS expander from the host server. Makes it very easy. Jeff wrote a two piece mini series which is directly on point for this type of setup: External SAS/ SATA Disk Chassis Wiring &#8211; Part 1 External...

You can replace the center partition in the Norco RPC-4220 with a 120mm one. BTW PigLover has a big thread on making the C6100 less loud. http://forums.servethehome.com/processors-motherboards/1317-taming-c6100.html I think hotter temps are a bit of a challenge but I'm planning to start...

Just reading this - another thought is to get a Dell C1100 on ebay with dual L5520s. Cost with 24GB is just over $300 and has 4x drive trays. 1U chassis so will be louder but you could sell a L5520 for $28 or so and the build would be very inexpensive. Slightly quieter are the HP DL180 G6's...
