I think you missed a word. "For those not in EU"

Define R6 can fit 11x 3.5" drives if you buy additional trays.

Anybody who bought from the last link that can share SMART data?

Depends a lot on your hardware configuration. With the right controllers and drives it should run fairly quiet. With a drive that doesn't show the smart data it wants, anything but quiet.

I'm using this board with a I/O shield from a X8DTi-F. Which should be a bit easier to find on Ebay etc.

That would be the easiest way. E5 2603/2609 should be cheap. It is possible that you can update BIOS from the IPMI if DHCP is enabled and the password is default (ADMIN:ADMIN). Just connect a Ethernet cable to the lonely RJ45 plug and check DHCP leases in your router for SM485784757 or...

Can somebody confirm that it comes with the heatsinks on the picture?

I don't think that would be an issue as long as I take the risk and cut open the PCIe slot. Similarly to this, just that's it's a x8 slot instead. How to put your unmodded PCI-E x16 card in your spare 1x slot without a riser.

I've read some of the same things. The Define XL R2 should for sure fit though and without having to add any standoffs myself. Also, about the PCI-e slots. From what I've gathered they are PCIe 3.0 x8. So I could try to open one of the slots to use them with a GPU (1060 most likely) and use it...

Does anybody have suggestions for a desktop case? Finding E-ATX cases is easy, but finding one that supports 12" x 13" without issues seems to be a bit more complicated. Been looking at the Phanteks Enthoo Pro, sound dampened case would be preferred though.

Have you tried using yours as a desktop? If it's standard SSI EEB I could be interested in trying to buy another server, dual 2670s and use it with my 1060.

I bought the one with a lid. Costs a bit more though. Quanta Cheap E5-2600 (LGA 2011) Sixteen Core Cloud Server (Configure-To-Order)

It uses the chipsets SATA controller. I am 99% sure that it would work with FreeNAS. Haven't tried it myself though. I can passthrough it in ESXi, won't try though as it's my only controller.

Do you have the dimensions and weight for the package? Trying to figure out what it would cost to ship it with a shipping forwarder.

Weird. I've ordered from them multiple times and they have solved everything within a couple of hours with custom configuration, tax deduction and shipping.

You have a source for $20 UDIMMs? If so you're extremely lucky.

Took a few screenshots. Also, does anybody know if I can flash the BMC on this one to enable RKVM?

It's a well-known fact that the Seagate Barracuda 3 TB drives produced after the factory floods have had huge issues. But if you actually bother to read up on some of Backblaze's later "studies" you can see that Seagate are about as good as Western Digital with a lower price.

Did the server come with trays? His listings are a bit... confusing.

Thanks, that sounds good! It will be in a separate room so high pitched fan noise shouldn't really be an issue.
