Cheers for speedy replies. That's the link.
The company seems quite reputable on eBay - 33000+ feedback and 99.9% positive.
Not sure whether they know its DCS bespoke build or just stuff that's come in for refurb. They have done a good job with the refurb though as its spotless inside - even the fans are clean.
There is nothing in the advert that is wrong... but nothing that says its a DCS Custom server either
The more I look at it, the more it is removed from standard. Have attached a couple more photos below. The fan arrangement is daft as offset so get practically three fans for one side servers and two fans for the other. It is very noisy... too noisy in my garage which is part of the house. The RAM layout seems daft as well. Photo below shows lid label with RAM info.
I will be stuck with current firmware levels and dont know what RAM is supported. To balance the CPUs would I have to put bigger sticks in? e.g. 6 x 4 and 3 x 8? for 48Gb total?
The seller has 3 other specs of the same C6100 on offer, all say -TY and not -TY3. One has 144GB RAM - I wonder what sticks it has!?
Changing the fans for 4 better ones going to be awkward as is getting to the lower two nodes
They have responded to my queries and asked me to call them after the hols when they are back in the office on the 27th Dec.
I really want a C6100 for a home lab and was hoping to play over Christmas... but now not so sure what to do
