Dell C6220 Deal

[HVAD]

Dell Poweredge C6220 2U Server-SFF Sale! | The Server Store
A great deal for 4 node E5 server:
Processors: 8x Xeon E5-2630L Six Core Processors
Memory: 64GB DDR3 Memory (Per Node)
Hard Drives: 24x 2.5" Trays and Screws
Controller: LSI 9210-8i Controller (Per Node)

I have bought couple of their C6100 servers on eBay before and all are working great.

Terrible specs. Will need to toss those processors. Also, probably 4GB sticks with no room for further upgrade.

 

[frogtech]

Not quite there yet. Whenever theserverstore includes the 9210-8i in their configs it tends to drive prices up around 400 bucks.

 

[MiniKnight]

If you were looking for that exact config it's maybe good. I'd pass on that all day long though.

youd want to trash the procs for 2670s anyways, doesnt seem like a good deal unless u can bargain for a super barebones version.

also re aussies, i talked to him. his shipping down under is outrageous, so probs pass

They put the giant spiders to work running on treadmills chasing dragonflies the size of a dog.

Is this a better deal? I'd like to get 2670's, don't really care about local storage, as they will network boot or boot from usb and be vmw nodes.

Just curious on feedback on these.

E5-2660's not E5-2670's in the C6220. The lower per-CPU power consumption (not TDP but actual power consumption) helps when you have 8 CPUs under load.

You are suggesting staying with the 2660's instead of the 2670's?

 

[MiniKnight]

Yes. They're cheaper and you run out of power with the E5-2670s. I like this one @tjk You may be paying slightly more but you get the 10Gb NICs and it's all assembled.

Yup @MiniKnight, that's the one I linked in my orig post, I was asking the seller how much for upg to 2670's. Seems like a nice price for what you get.

I wouldn't run the C6220 on 3.5s. Iirc you can assign the unused drives to one node which makes it ideal for 3x raided boot drive nodes + 1x 18 drive SAN.

Just picked up a fully loaded C6220 myself with the following specs:

C6220 4 Populated Nodes, 1 Spare node w/ heat sinks. (Under warranty until 5/17)

8 x E5-2670 2.6Ghz Processors (8C/16HT)
256GB Total (64GB per node, Populated with the following DIMM's)

20 x 8GB Kingston DDR3 (160GB)
6 x 16GB Kingston DDR3 (96GB)

15 x 500GB WD Velociraptor 10k
7 x 500GB Seagate Constellation .2 7.2k

Picked it up for $1400. I think I did pretty good considering I can sell the HDD's and get back a bit of the money. I normally mount my VM's from my Synology's.

Also picked up a Dell X1052P (POE 48Port w/ 4 x 10GB SFP+) for $445 so I can create a LAG from the Synology 4 x 1Gbe and connect 1x10Gbe (already have the cards) to each C6220 node.

The deals are out there.

it's pretty expensive (about 0.3 kwh) with some higher rates if you go over a bracket. But everythings expensive here, kind of used to it. I run e5 1620v3 so i hope its power savings work.... Didn't notice much but its winter so my heater probably outspends my cpu anyways

Does the seller have more? Where do people find deals like this?

Think that was an individual or some business that only had one for sale, the listing sounds familiar. I think he tried listing originally for 7k and dropped the price over time, lol. The dude was getting desperate to sell, I made an offer a long while back and he declined. Month or so later he sent me a message randomly asking me if I wanted it for 1500. Passed cause I don't find it to be worth 1500 or even 1400. The RAM probably was a good thing to get from it though.

 

[doofoo]

Wow, really? Didn't think $1400 on that was a good deal?

Looking around I didn't see any better deals on eBay for C6220's, especially under warranty and a spare blade (also under warranty)

The memory is what really pulled me in. Most of the C6220's from larger vendors have 4GB DIMM's fully populated with no potential for upgrades.

The hard drives I was planning on replacing with SSD's and selling them on eBay or here cheap just to get rid of them.

 

[NetWise]

Yeah I'd totally take one. Don't need it by I'd create a use case
