[tjsgifan]

Last updated 22/04/24

Hi all,
I'm tidying up the warehouse at Servero and we have a few machines that are either frankensteins or unicorns in the sense of they are one off's and I just don't know who or where to sell them too but I can't bring myself to scrap them.

£50.00 each

Prices? Payment methods? Shipping outside of UK?

Prices? Payment methods? Shipping outside of UK?

Hi Samir,
Sorry, for lack of detail, offers invited as I can't sell them at retail prices any more. Just need the space back. Payment - paypal, credit card via stripe or bank deposit is fine, we are UK VAT registered business and shipping outside of the UK is viable, but will delay and can be expensive as some of these machines are heavy and in all honesty if I get an offer for £50 and it costs me £200 to ship and £50 in time and packing it's just not worthwile. Some of the systems are worth a few hundred £ i'm sure, but priority is given to UK clients who can collect.

Happy to wait a week and take whatever the best offer is if that's fairer as I appreciate some people may not see the post for a few days...

Toby.

Thank you for the extensive details. I only asked because the posting rules require these details:

I'm sure at the right price these will go to a good local home quickly and you can get that space back.

Oh, and before you scrap them, consider posting them to this thread for free:

There's some nice gear in there. Too bad that shipping will be prohibitive, but I am sure you'll find enough UK folks to pick you clean
Good luck.

How much for the 5 jbods? Can you do palet delivery to Portugal (if so how much, assuming pallet is cheaper, if 5 boxes is cheaper that works for me) ?

 

[Finbester]

QTY 1 x SYS-6028U-TN4RT - 2U X10DRU-i Dual Socket 12 Bay 3.5" machine, has a 9361-8i controller and onboard SATA

Interested in this, how much would shipping be to Finland?

E: if there are takers locally, just give this to them.

 

[MrMeeb]

Potentially interested in the JBOD chassis. Local to Basingstoke, can collect. What kind of price? Are there rails?

Thanks!

 

[Railgun]

May be interested in one of the Quanta chassis, though I need to read up on its connectivity specs.

Just to confirm, they're all dual node variants? You don't happen to have a single board version?

Hey @tjsgifan please add asking prices to the FS post.

Sorry, they are all dual node HA versions. You could just turn off the 2nd board though (cold spare) and the single board will still see all the drive bays. I had it running as a storage "miner" a while back in that config. You just lose 8 drive bays in comparison to the single node version I think.

...and the prices?

QTY 4 x Supermicro 4U 24 bay empty chassis with 12G single path expander backplane, could use any ATX motherboard or JBOD power board.

Interested in 1 or 2 of these, and could collect during working hours. What price do you want? Do you have any JBOD boards spare?

Edit: That Quanta T21P-4U could also be tempting... at a price

 

[Navvie]

QTY 4 x Supermicro 4U 24 bay empty chassis with 12G single path expander backplane, could use any ATX motherboard or JBOD power board.

I'm interested in one of these. Takes any ATX motherboard?

Rack rails included? Caddies for drives included? How much?

I'm in Southampton, could collect Monday to Friday. RG24 8NE, what's that, just around the corner from Travis Perkins?

Sorry, i'm going to pass on international shipping at the moment as I have little time to organise.

 

[tjsgifan]

Prices added. I have loads of v3 CPU that would work in the chassis i've listed - you can have a few for free if you come and collect. Otherwise, loads of spare parts to make your trip worthwhile.

Potentially could do an open house one weekend if you want to come down and have a hunt for any parts you need - Supermicro is our specialty but we have lots of odds and sods too.

Supermicro SYS-F618H6-FTPT+ look good. Does SM offer these trays that support EPYC 7002/7003 in that chassis? Thinking of long term upgrades

 

[Navvie]

So the 4U 24 bay Supermicro JBODs are as photo? No PSU, no caddies?

Edit: I can collect, no problem.

I don't believe there are an AMD option for these chassis i'm afraid.

Sorry, that's just the way we store them - we build to spec, so if you wanted 920w psu or 1200w psu we take them off the shelf and stick them in. Caddies included too, again, customers sometimes have a mix of 3.5" and 2.5" to 3.5" so we store them empty.

If you can collect from basingstoke then you can configure as you need.
