Alternative would be to pick up an actual used server chassis. DDR4 server memory is dead cheap and older Xeons aren't very fast per core, but they're super easy to get in high core counts for cheap. I have a system based on a Supermicro SYS-7048R-TR with dual E5-2630v4 (10-core/20-thread) CPUS...
Hiya!
I've got a 13900k, ASRock Z790 Taichi, 32GB of DDR5-6000 CL36 (Crucial Pro modules), and a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro SSD. Looking to sell as a bundle. $800 or so seems fair I think? For an extra $75 I will send it in a chassis with a 750W PSU and a 240 AIO installed on the CPU. Bare parts, no...
I have. They're both in nearly-new condition, in box with accessories, with less than 3 total drive writes on each.

Hello! I want the cheapest LGA 1700 motherboard possible. Seriously, bottom dollar here. H610 is absolutely just fine. I would even consider like... a pull from a Dell or Lenovo or something, as long as it can be convinced to work outside of its original OEM chassis. Shipping to 77573.
Thanks!
The Samsung 990 is probably not what you want. I don't know what kind of bitrates you are working with, but most high-end Gen4 drives will be able to read at ~7 GB/s. If write speed is your concern, then there is a *lot* more variability. One of the tests I do is to try to establish the...
Hello! I have three Supermicro AOC-S3916L-H16IR-32DD cards.
These are essentially Supermicro branded 9560-16i cards. They are pulls from brand new servers, and have never been powered on other than for the burn-in testing the vendor did.
I have low-profile brackets as well, but only for two...
Sorry folks, I got unexpectedly dragged into work. I'm playing catch up and will get replies and invoices and such out properly tomorrow. I hope. This weekend, at the latest.
I've upgraded my home array, so my old disks are for sale. I've got 15x 6TB HDDs.
9x of them are Seagate Ironwolf ST6000VN0033 drives, one of which is a RMA return and thus labeled as recertified.
2x of them are Seagate Ironwolf Pro ST6000NE000
4x of them are HGST 0F26900
