Hiya,
I´m considering building a new box with the intention of being able to host one or two VM's that'll run games over parsec, with GPU-resources shared/assigned per VM. I'll probably want to run a few other VM's alongside these, but nothing that requires GPU. The box will be hosted close by...
I've got a good few DM001's running since a couple of years without any major issues, heck even my spare's were/are DM001's. For what it's worth, the low price of them a couple of years ago has really paid off.

Very nice! where did you buy yours?
I'm a bit on the fence as i can't really find room for any more fulltower-sized builds and i can't deal with super-noisy 1U's.
How are these for noise?
How does the backplate look? Would it fit a "standard" CPU-fan (Evo 212 etc)
Shipping times?
Many thanks :)
I would just replace the PSU's with PWS-920P-SQ. Sure they're a bit expensive, but also require no modifications nor do they make any noise (yes, they're really that quiet)
So, the time has come to start clearing stuff out. Everything is fully working and tested, most of it is just working pulls that have been sitting in storage.

Bought these off eBay some time ago, item-description was wrong so paid for T520 but got T320.
Chelsio T320E-SR - Dual SFP+
Btw, support for these in VMware is no-no, works mighty fine under *NIX tho.
I've got 4 of these, asking €15 per card + shipping.

Crazy good deals! Check out the other auctions too as he's got a few other storage-enclosures for cheap.
