Hello STH, I just decommissioned a Dell R330 server from Quadranet Los Angeles. I don't really know what to do with it, so offering it here before it's off to eBay :) This was a citrix machine and spent its entire life at Quadranet. I still have receipts in my email from April 2017 if you're...

Hi gang, I am in the process of upgrading our 5 year old R330 Dell box to something two notches better -- an R740XD. This new server comes with a pair of ConnectX-4 NICs on an OCP card. I use QSFP+ at home, but only point-to-point (thanks to STH forums, this was pretty painless! :) ) -- but I...

Hello, I'm impatient with my 10GBe network and workstation to NAS copying speeds. :) I have: Windows 10 workstation (i7-7700K) Centos 7 NAS (Xeon D 1541) with SSD and spinners. Would like to link the two with something higher speed. Prefer low-headache. Is it as simple as grabbing a pair...

Hello, I'm in the market for a server replacement at my colo that underpins a pile of VM environments. I keep finding this server, and it keeps clawing at my mind -- what am I missing at this price? I need the 12x3.5" backplane so I'm not a buyer for this specific box (although I've tried to...

Hello, I have a box I'm tired of staring at, unpowered and unloved. Someone wants this thing, I think, maybe? :) I tried to post it on reddit hardware swap, but the mods want me to "timestamp" the sticks of ram, cpus after pulling sinks, etc -- ain't nobody got time for that. This ran great 2...

Hello, I'm shopping Dell R820/R830 boxes for a project I have, and these two chips seem to pop up a lot in Dell Servers. (I play on Dell Outlet a lot, for grins) Trouble I'm having is -- the E5-4655v4 looks like the worst value Xeon ever to me. :) Am I missing something about it? The old...
