Dell C6100 Mezzanine 10GbE Cards

Just saw these. Might be picking some up. I guess the C6220's are coming off lease so these are coming up. Sub $300 even with the bridge PCb. Two links:

I have two of these cards that I was planning to eBay for $150. Let me know if you would like them.

Of note: Only the $277 auction includes the metal cage that attaches to the c6100 sled. The $279 auction does not, so ignore that auction. You can cut your own holes to make a mounting, but it's important to understand that it does require some work. My cards also lack the metal cage, which is why I think that they are only worth between $150 and $200.

The TCK99s (10gbe mezz card) show up from time to time. I do t think theae prices are all that good. I got 4 of them - brand new sealed Dell bozes with all mounting hardware - a few montha ago for $200/ea.

If either of these sellers are taking offers give it a try @ $200 or less.

Should be interesting to see where the C6220's end up price wise. There is already a C6220 barebones with 4X 10GBE cards installed for $1,699 ( Dell PowerEdge C6220 2U 4X Barebone Nodes with 10GB Cards 2X Power Supplies | eBay ). Subtracting 4 X $250 for the 10gbe cards is ~699 for a barebones S2011 system which seems like a steal of a deal (now if only there were cheap S2011 processors.....)

Try magical these magical words on ebay: Xeon ES E5

Careful with ES E5 processors. Not all motherboards will except them and some features such as VT-d are turned off.

This is exactly right! Also, some motherboards may accept only with older BIOS versions that do not support Windows 8/ 2012.

I was ready to get one of these until I saw the cost of CPU's.
