2x L5520 2x QDR Infiniband LSI 1068e 24GB RAM - $599

Saw this today... looks really interesting:

Rackable C1001-TY3 $599 with:
2x Intel Xeon L5520
2x QDR Infiniband
LSI 1068e
24GB DDR3
1U Half Depth
2x 73GB SAS

Also cool is that the guys in Mountain view posted pictures on one auction of idle and load. Look like 1.5A servers under load 161w. We were all excited about $150 QDR cards. Might be interesting for additional nodes.

Now for inexpensive QDR switches...$28 a port

Too bad (for me) 48 port :-/

gigatexal they don't. Still not bad for the 2x 2.5" 10k rpm SAS drives.

Interesting deal. The CPUs are around $70 each by themselves.

How is the IPMI (KVM) on these?? Possible to turn on and off, view "screen" like the modern Supermico/Tyan boards?

Is VT-d supported?
