These are based on Intel motherboards.
32GB RAM (~$300)
Intel motherboard + case
E3-1220 V2's

Here is one with an extra dual port NIC but non-hot swap bays for $475 OBO: 1U Intel S1200BTS E3 1220 V2 3 1GHz 32GB 500GB Half Depth Server | eBay could be OK

No extra NICs on the Intel mobo/ supermicro hot swap case: Supermicro 1U E3 1220 V2 3 1GHz 32GB S1200BTS CSE 813M | eBay and it is $500.

Both have quantities available so might be interesting little boxes. The V2's are still 22nm parts and the RAM alone is worth more than half of the listing price, the Supermicro SC813 is probably worth $100-125 used.

They do not have IPMI which is a bummer.

since most on entry intel server mother board supported (i3 or e3 capable).

Nice find Patrick,

I really wish the C202 PCH supported SATA 6Gb/s...

Just an FYI. The S1200BTS external USB doesn't play well with ESXI 5.5+ . I have several and know this from experience. The internal USB does work though.

That is one of the more bizarre bugs. I wonder why this is. Great information though.

Sigh, memory has gotten so much more expensive!

Yeah, I looked back at prices from a couple years ago when it was 'dirt cheap'... oh the days.

Your post on the DDR4 was a nice surprise for savings though :D

No real benefit in $, maybe $2-3.

The only real "cheap" stuff is 2-8gb DDR3 RDIMMs, and that DDR4 @Patrick shared the other day.

I just got those DDR4 RDIMMs. At least they got here quickly and were packaged nicely.

I'm rather sure the S1200BT can handle non-ECC.
I'm checking now, I sold one to a friend recently and am 99% sure it's NOT running ECC.

Since I'm feeling in the testing mood I'll validate this tonight. I have a S1200BTS/E3-1220 combo running as a desktop and I'll swap the 8gb ECC DIMMs with NON-ECC tonight and see if it will post.

The ones I got from you all had ECC I know that :)

So I tried 4GB and 8gb NON-ECC memory in all the DIMM configurations to no avail. I'd get power but no post.

I'm conceding that it does only take ECC memory.

Hahahaha. Yes they did. I still have a couple of those combos around my place I'm using.

I'm just waiting for the damn 8 node or 12 node E3 SuperMicro chassis to go on sale to swap your chips, ram, and some others I've been acquiring into a nice tiny chassis :D :D

PS: I still haven't tested the switch or PDU yet :( So much to do.
