Dell M1000e w/ 16x M610 2xL5630 + 10GbE Passthrough

Been trying to look for some nice compute/storage node setups. I've always been fascinated by the Dell M1000e / VRTX setups, and found this gem on ebay.

Dell Poweredge M1000e 16x M610 2x L5630 2.13ghz 24gb 2x Trays iKVM CMC 10G-PTM - $1779 - Texas, US, local pickup only though..

While they are older compute nodes, the enclosure's themselves with PSU, FAN, and Modules are going for $800+

Local pickup, otherwise I would have grabbed one...

So this seems like a fairly good deal.

Iir that m1000e is 240v only and noisy. I would love to get a vrtx 120v tho they are Uber quiet and spensive

I'd love a VRTX too. The L5600 generation is hard. Those dual l5630's you can replace with single E5-2670's and get better performance. The HP deal with 8 nodes is probably 2x performance and half the nodes.

1. Loud (An F15 is quieter)
2. POWER HUNGRY (6 30A circuits)

If you get them put them in a Data center and have a blast, had 8 chassis of these in our DC until we moved to AWS.
