wouldn't it be easier to create two forums? one could be called Great Deals or Buy Low the other could be called For Sale or Sell High if you haven't been disappointed about missing a deal, and you haven't been excited about scoring an incredible deal - you just haven't wasted enough money on...

@DavidWJohnston Thank you for the post sir! They have a killer deal on 40gig LR4 optics which is really really hard to find. I definitely owe you one!

put in an offer of 60 @ 35, waiting to see... accepted 60@35

Not accepting < $200 now, came back at $215. Tried to buy 10

Also we run 2696 v4 on some of our supermicro machines and they run great there as well, it just has to support the 150w. Yes on SYS-2028BT-HNR+ but no on SYS-1028GQ-TR surprisingly.

these will not run on m630 blades because of the TDP but these run beautifully on R730xd. Half the price of a 2699 v4 and slightly better.

higher than I would like it is such a pain to pull servers out to swap bad dimms that I have decided to not purchase any more from this vendor. I usually get one bad dimm per order. back in the ddr3 days their quality was much higher. prices are low and tempting but as of right now I am...

I previously ordered several terabytes of memory from these guys about 5-6 years ago. Used it in Poweredge M910 and M610 blade servers. They are a smaller manufacturer up in the bay area, I think around San Jose. I still have pieces floating around from servers long gone that seem to hold up...

I have not heard a single word from the seller, no email no call. Should I be concerned? Oh wait I didnt order anything from him o_O

especially when I paid $1700 for it and have never used it lol!

hey @hitmanbabyvn we use these to provide a virtual gpu passthrough (vgpu) for virtual desktops running vmware horizon and windows 10. The card basically has 8gb of memory that you can carve up for between 1 and 8 users. we run 3 cards per server and run about 24 users (or less) on Windows 10...

Cx354a ConnectX-3 FDR 40gbe Or 56gb Infiniband | eBay looks like a really good deal and 20 available

@whitey that is a great question. I actually do need these and have been buying individual cards for the past few weeks trying to get to the number i need for my cluster. my rule of thumb is that if I actually need the items myself I wont hesitate to buy an entire lot, whether posted here or...

thanks @Patrick i picked up that one too!

i had been paying 700 ish and as low as high 500s for the K2. These seem to work really well. I never had much luck with the K1 cards. I do 3 cards per server. They eat up a ton of space and power but you dont have per user licensing costs like with the newer cards.
