I assume most people have had a bad experience or two but any good ones?
I bought a couple pf SC847A 4U chassis with 36 drive bays for a storage project off ebay at a reasonable price for the UK. When I opened the first one I was someone surprised to find a supermicro motherboard in there- pretty old but still more than usable with a CPU / cooler, 16GB DDR memory, 5 LSI 2 port 6GBps HBA's and all the cabling. The other one didn't have the motherboard but still had the LSI HBA's. No hard drives unfortunately! I assume it was harder for them to take out and dispose of. Just wondered if anyone has had a similar good experience.
