Not sure this is a good or not

as we know the seller (liquid8...) that loves on best offer 40% or more....

if you have parts: gold or platinum PSU and 2 x 80mm PWM fans (need both on the back due on not PWM fans, I think(my knowledge) the middle/backplane is pwm fans).

you can best offer for $75-$90 + shipping (watch out for the shipping cost and make sure is no very costly).

this is a TQ backplane version....

Dell / Compellent SuperMicro X7DBI+ CT-SC030 3U Storage Controller Server

Pretty old lga 771 motheboard with e5240 and guts that can be removed/given/trashed.

the good side:
  • has rails
  • has faceplate (attached to the unit)

basically, you just take everything out including old 800W and use the case only...

3U SM is not very common on ebay on my understanding..

you can request them before paying to remove old 800W psu(s) to reduce shipping cost a bit.


I bought one: 90(best offer)+ shipping
bought for replacing AIC 4U case that has bad lower part of backplane. downsizing to 3U or 2U :D....

The CT-040 versions are pretty much the same except have an X8DTH motherboard and a E5540 processor. They also include all of the caddies which is nice.
