So I am down sizing and decommissioning most of my home cluster. It breaks my heart to do so but due to a recent promotion I am not finding the time to use it as much as I previously did. That and my wife and I are having our first baby! So that the baby has a place to sleep I am going to clear about 10u worth of space so the kid and nestle up on top of the upses but below the SAN (don't want poop to get on the ssds). Bahaha, Just kidding!
So with out further ado lets get the party started. I will try and list both full systems and itemized parts. I would rather sell a full system vs parting it out, but doesn't really matter in the end.
Payment methods: PayPal gift or PayPal business transaction if you feel more comfortable but you the buyer will be paying for transaction fee and percentage PayPal charges (1.9 or 2.9% I don't remember off the top of my head)
**I would really appreciate it if I got this stuff sold sooner rather than later so please feel free and give me your best offer and I will try my best to make it work**
Items:
- 3x LB4M with 4x 10gb cx4 ports - $100ea. I have modified one of the switches with a fan controller and would be willing to do it to the others cheaply, but the control knob can make one of these screamers quite enough to leave on the table next to you.
4 x c6100 Motherboards - $125 - Comes with both heatsinks and the metal trays.
10+ l5520 cpus - $7.50
Lsi 9205-8e - 1x - $95ea
Lsi 9300-16e - 3x - $375ea
Lsi-9300-8e - 2x - $240ea
-Intel JBOD2224S2DP 2U Rack Dual 460W - $750 - This is a dual port sas expander Jbod 24x 2.5" chassis. This was being used with 24 sas ssds in HA with SOFS in server 2012r2, it works great and with 24 drives it was extremely fast. It has dual 36 port sas expanders and the host swap bays work with dual port sas drives and single port sata drives.
- 24x crucial m550 256gb - $80ea - less than 150 hours of use, per smart info, I ran some tests on these then got nvme fever and ran out of time to test or even deploy them. This was an expensive falsestart project, but hey good for anyone wanting a great price on some fast ssds
-Lots of jbod accessories and cables...this section may take some time since there is alot, feel free and ask in the mean while. The SC216 that the jbod parts were in is not for sale yet, I havent determined if I will use this again or not.
6x supermicro low profile 8088 to 8087 brackets and cables - $40ea
2x supermicro jbod controller board ptjbod-cb1 - $30ea
2x pwm fan controllers - $35ea
- Lsi 9202-16e - 6x - $140 - I had one of these in the c6100s and a ConnectX-2 VPI card in each of the c6100s. It made one heck of a SOFS cluster. I bought these based on this review done by and they did not disappoint. Just as an fyi I made two full height brackets, but these came with half height brackets. The two full height brackets are going to be given on a first come first serve basis, after that they will come with just the half height brackets.
- Dell Connectx-2 VPI 40gb infiniband/10gb ethernet mezzanine cards - flashed to work with smb direct -8x -$100 - I have a number of these that I have left over after selling two other c6100s I sold a while back, again these things are awesome and extremely fast, it really raises the bar in terms of performance with the c6100s.
- PCI-E 8x riser card - Supermicro part # RSC-RR1U-E8 - $10ea - I have two of these, I no longer need these since I am not using my 1u chassis.
-Two port sff-8088 to sff-8087 - $10 - this one is a little more pretty than the 3 port version.
-3-port sff-8088 to internal sff-8087 - $10 - I did screw up the pci bracket somewhat...it still works but its a bit ugly on the top
- HD-PVR - $50 - was using this with the HTPC...Acutally I purchased it for a dvr vm but realized after the purchase I couldn't pass usb into the hyper-v vm....So I never actually used it.
