    Why Xeon d 1500 platforms so expensive

    Don't know what the price for just the CPU is, but there are a few places with the Supermicro X10SDV-16C-TLN4F board listed for around $2200-$2300. One place I am watching is wiredzone at Supermicro X10SDV-16C-TLN4F Embedded Processor I have no idea when they will actually be in stock but I...

    Anyone have the Supermicro SC846 front bezel?

    The MCP-210-84601-0B I ordered a while ago from Wiredzone didn't come with a filter. I believe it was shipped directly from Supermicro and it did contain the replacement front handles. Is there a separate part number for the filter?
