Why would you say the A10 is significantly faster? Can you show me some benchmarks?
The RTX 3080 uses the same chip as the RTX A5000 which uses the same chip as the A10.
The key here is performance (per watt) and noise level when you're dealing with labs.
In terms of gaming, the 3080 is...
Also... drop the A10. Unless you've already purchased or can get it for super cheap. There is no world where a server grade A10 makes more sense than an RTX. If you really need 24GB ram... just go with the RTX A5000. You'll get enough ram for your datasets and you won't have to mess with the...
Or.... just buy an old supermicro workstation. It doesn't need to be AMD and doesn't need to be from the last 5 years. The cases are solid and really cheap if bought used. Chuck out the mainboard and replace with the H13SSL-N. Supermicro used to be all about customization so older chassis/cases...
Your computer case is key. Make sure the fans on them are sufficient. A single rear facing fan will not be sufficient so make sure you choose the right case. If it a single fan, make sure it's a diesel fan... and one that can last 24/7.
The temps will not be an issue as long as you can keep the...
Mikrotik has a cheap 100G switch which is 4 ports. You really need to simplify this. Instead of 5+ switches just get a single Nexus switch like an N9K that supports 100G. Use breakout cables for the 25G/10G. Your lab will sound like a jet engine but this is just too complicated to enjoy :)
But...
Dude! You said an open office... PLEASE get a workstation. I know so many people who want racked units because it looks cool. Unless you already have a rack and don't mind going with a 4U or larger container, there really is no sense in going the horizontal route.
Servers are housed in racks...
It needs an AOC for the U.2, right? Would you be able to provide what sorta connection the backplane has for the cabling? Is it the square or the flat (occulink) connection?
...God I love your photos. Everything looks so clear and crispy clean
I got both R740's and R640's for you. The only catch is that I only have platinum.... Our diamond ran our last week.
All our builds come with high performance fans, Gold plated heatsinks, P-rated raid cards, and packaged in orignal Dell boxes. Oh, and the servers will smell of lavender (don't...
Hope the deal goes good! Don't try to negotiate whhen the prices are good. Worst case: both parties feel bad. Best case: Only one side feels good. GOGO SOOOO DIMMM
I'll pay $500 landed price. The only problem is I'm located in Asia. Fedex will cost you between $400~120 depending on your discount rate.
R730's go for $110/piece in quantity over here. This XD is nicer cuz it's specced out.
My suggestion: Break the parts out so they're sellable; and list...
There are 3 main reasons for this:
1. They cost more. Example: Dell buys drives from Seagate. They test them; if the batch has more than a 5% error rate, they return them. They then modify the firmware based on blueprints provided by the manufacturer. They test them again with their hardware...
These are dell branded OEM's. People pay more for R3J3Y @T_Minus and @ant0shka as they certainly cost much more. I know it's a different clientele that go for OEM's; a home labber won't care for Dell firmware but you're comparing two different products. At heart, they are manufactured by Intel...
No problem! I donated a few of these to a charity and felt pretty good about it. After this comment, I'm feeling REAL good that I'm able to help out with someone's education. If you need more and it's for a good cause (ie. science) I'm open to sending one without acccepting shipping fees.
I...
I think the setup / pic you just showed us is the best part of this post. Someone should sticky this to the top of BUY/SELL category.
Dedication is all I can say.
Got a cheap tripod this morning, it's coming in on Monday.
This really depends on what tool you're using. It's just the test size - usually it's defaulted to something small like 1GB. If you're not used to benchmarking tools, use something simple like crystal disk. It's not too accurate for server type workloads but the other tools are much more...
