Anyone have a good wholesaler they use to move lots of servers, preferably someone that will come on-site to our DC in Northern VA and package up the gear? I've got 150+ SMC and GB Dual Epyc (dual 7542 and 7H12 Procs), with 1T and 2T Ram systems I am looking to get rid of.

Hey Folks, I've been testing a few of the https://store.minisforum.com/products/hx90 for a purpose built application I am working on, but it is missing two things: 1. IPMI/OOB Port 2. 10G Interface I'd like to find something pre-built if I can, but also happy to build my own if I have to...

Hey Folks, I've got a lot of Brocade 7750-48f switches deployed and love em! However, they are getting hard(er) to find used for decent pricing. What is a good alternative for a 48 port SFP+ switch that still gets software patches on em? Need it to be either stackable or have a solid MCLAG...

I'm working on building out some Ryzen 9 5950X servers, I have a few of the ASrock Rack 1U4LW-X570/2L2T and they are OK systems, I need RPSU's but they've been out of stock forever, and I don't need 4x SATA hot swap. So, I was thinking just get the mobo in that server X570D4U-2L2T and find a 1U...

Hey All, We have to test a large number of HDD's on a regular basis before they go into production. Is anyone aware of a 12, 24, or greater 3.5" and/or 2.5" chassis where we can just "drop" the HDD's in and not deal with screwing them into a sled?

Hey, Does anyone know if the 6650 can be stacked? The (few) docs I can find online lead me to believe it cannot be stacked, however the pictures of the switch show 40gb QSFP ports in the back, wondering if you can stack via those. Thanks!
