Dell Mellanox QDR VPI 2 Port 40GB s Daughter Card for Dell PowerEdge C6100 JR3P1 | eBay

Six available. Good price for these. Look like they come with the PCB bridge connector too from the pic

This guy must still have lots of these, even thought it says 6. I bought 6 of them with the make offer over the last 2 weeks. $129 must be the lowest he's willing to go now. They are complete, and work great!

You may want to try Justin at Vista Computer, because I think he's trying to be competitive with ebay when it comes to pricing these out.

Not a bad price on these! All we need is a best offer and we are set!

Any 'inexpensive' switch options one should look for to go with these?

I just happened to get one today on eBay out of Carrollton, TX as a best offer. It's from metsales1 aka pdneiman aka theserverstore.com (they're all the same company) and probably have other ID's too, but they are *not* mobile_computer_pros. Someone I spoke with at theserverstore.com made that very clear.

Looking forward to seeing what this baby can do. Also picked up some of the dual port QDR PCIe cards that someone posted a link to eBay in great deals (not the C6100 mezzanine cards) so I can play with Windows Server 2012.

There a current listing for $848 obo (Voltaire Grid Director TM 4036 | eBay). Per their listing "NOTE: WE HAVE PLENTY MORE IN STOCK. PLEASE CALL (510) 260-3473 FOR BULK PRICING." Maybe an opportunity for a STH group purchase?

 

[Patrick]

Was talking to Peter @ The Server Store in TX this week after he gave me a call. If we wanted to do a group buy I could probably arrange. I have been wanting one also.

I see the guy that's selling the C6100 QDR cards dropped them down to $116.98.

Well. I'm still not entirely sure how I'm going to use them but its starting to look like the universe is sending me a sign . Even though the VPI part makes these function like 10GbE NIC, There's no IB to Ethernet bridge or routing ports on this Voltaire - so I'd need a system with both nics working as a bridge? I'm happy enough if it is not I need 2x1gbe from each c6100 for mgmt/VM's and IB would be just for storage really.

Sold out already!

 

[Marsh]

Just want you to know, I offered the seller to purchase 2 JR3P1 cards for the price of $116.98 each. He accepted my offer even though the auction is closed. I think he have few more cards.
