Are these $200 watercooled Intel dual E5 2Us?

Pricing is really low. I'm seeing what looks like waterblocks and tubes for pumps. Only room for internal boot drives but with all those PCIe cards you could get an external expander chassis

What makes these attractive is you'd get access to the kalleyomalley universe of cheap parts.

thx!!! so many reasons its a bad idea but so many reasons I want it.

 

[jrdnlc]

Wow those coolers are so cheap. I sent an offer via message. Will report back

 

[MiniKnight]

Meh is it really worth the time? $18 and the shipping is like $3 for the 2nd unit.

Are the fans inside the chassis blowing towards the radiators? I.e the opposite direction of what's typical in other servers?

 

[TLN]

Direction doesn't really matter. Just have to make sure radiators have enough air going through.

Anyone have a normal 2U chassis here?
Are the 2U R2*** chassis as quiet as the 4U P4000Ms?

looks like the whole front end been replaced to hold the radiators. So any space for HDD storage is left to the tray in the back. I'm tempted but i haven't figured out what the rest of the system would cost, IE cpu and memory, to see if its worth replacing my little e3-12xx 32gb supermicro custom server. I already have a dual intel e5 system built on the 4u P4000x case. so this would be way more then i need. haha this forum makes me want more power for some reason.....
