Supermicro SYS-5018A-FTN4 C2758 Atom

[BLinux]

There's a 3rd party seller selling 1 in "like new" for $350 free shipping:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G3ED7D4/

Now Amazon warehouse has one for $350 too, with this description:

"Accessories may have cosmetic damage. Item will come in original packaging."

Not sure what "accessories" they mean because there isn't much other than a power cord?

Also, Amazon has these brand new for $400 too, also all time low price according to camel^3.

It's currently listed on Amazon (sold by Amazon) for $495 free shipping with prime, which is the lowest price ever according to camel^3:

There's also a "used -very good" one for $450.

bumping this for a "used -like new" for $350 free shipping by 3rd party seller on Amazon; See OP link

Were these still a questionable buy due to that whole tick tock boom thing?

Or was that just a little overblown and more of a concern for the enterprise side of things where they'd lose a switch or two out of the 100+ they bought?

I'd wanted to get one last year, but everything I found about the C2000 atoms was indicating that buying them would 100% result in a bricked device.

The new ones all have a workaround to address the issue. Even if you have one with the problem, supermicro replaced both of mine with brand new units without any hassle.

bump for all time low price on Amazon of $400 on brand new unit. also $350 for used from amazon warehouse and 3rd party seller.

is there a push to clear out this inventory? the prices on Amazon seem to be trending down aggressively...

Well, if you go to supermicro's site now for one of the mitx C2xxx motherboards, And click on the BMC/IPMI firmware link it points you to a page that says the selected product is out of production. So maybe they're done.

I'm actually sending my C2758F back in today for RMA due to the C2000 bug =/

I love these little servers thou and it's been a great pfSense box.

That $350 Amazon Warehouse deal is tempting. I bought my Samsung KS9000 from Amazon Warehouse last year for stupid cheap, and although it was missing the original box, it was in fact brand new.
