With a 10G add-on card this would make one helluva pfSense box

Good point! But I've seen versions of these with drive bays floating around ebay

With Proxmox on these you could easily run Ceph so no central storage needed.

Would be great to see if any QSFP mezzanine nics would be compatible with these, could build a pretty killer Proxmox cluster with a few of these.

Does anyone have any experience with these? This looks like good upgrade from the Dell C6220, as long as it can run a VMWare or Proxmox cluster without too much tinkering.

I replaced my fans with Noctua NF-A4x20 FLX fans. They're a bit pricey but damn near silent, I have it sitting next to me and I can't hear it at all. The switch does report the fans as failed tho.

Thanks for the heads up. I've scored a few DL360p's on ebay for cheap and was looking to turn them into FreeNAS boxes for vmware san. I got the passthrough enabled but haven't had much chance to do real stress testing.

The original listing says that there were 31 for sale but the auction sold 14. Might be prudent to message the seller and ask if he's got more.

Thanks for this! Offered the seller $10, he countered with $13. In for half a dozen.

In for a few. Thanks!

Not sure if it was mentioned on this thread or not. I'm looking to connect two of these boxes via SFP to Ethernet 10GBaseT modules in order to utilize Cat-6 already in the house. Can anyone recommend some decent bang-for-the-buck transceivers?

Gah, that's unfortunate. I guess I'll have to be content with measly 1Gbps ;)

Could someone shed some light on my issue? I have a 2.5G GPON OLT module plugged into one of the SFP+ ports. The module will not negotiate a connection unless the port is set to 1G. My FTTH connection is 1.5G, trying to get it to utilize the full connection speed. Is there a way to set the port...

Damn, looking for about 20 of these. This would have been an awesome price to snag at

I can see if I can get a board to POST via a 12V feed outside of the chassis when I find some free time in the near future.
