That's correct, I'm interested in eight units.I'm pretty sure Kal G said he's interested in buying eight units. Read what he said again.
I know this deal is incredibly solid, but I can't yet make confirmation, need to wait few more days for some things to clear out before I can determine if I can afford it.
Hi Capn_Pinapple,no can do buddy, moved house over the weekend, funds are tighter than a camels @ss in a sandstorm.
the price for the servers is incredible, but as $1200 shipping to oz, it's just not worth it.
Just to confirm I am in for 1 unit for sure, and would be willing to take 2 to make the deal happen, but it looks like with Kal G, that won't be necessary.Update on interest:

Hank C., NetWise, capn_pineapple, PersonalJ, any of you interested?
3 days till this is a go or a bust! (6 units to go!)
It's an approximate price from when I was shipping servers to the US subsidiary of the company I work for. Based on size and weight.Hi Capn_Pinapple,
I'm in Australia too. How did you get price for shipping as it seems pricy.
I set up an account myself with FedEx and shipped 2 x C6100 (complete units) from USA and it cost me about $1492.
After this FedEx kept contacting me offering discounts, if you ask for a client manager up front, they may offer discount on your first shipment.
I use 'Shipito' these days and I estimate it may cost about $600, but don't quote me on this. They have a calculator on their website. I sent a empty Supermicro 3U 18 bay server chassis (66lbs) with 2 power supplies for $250 with 'Shipito' using TNT. (TNT seem much cheaper than FedEx using 'Shipito' service.) Only problem using 'Shipito is that you may have to pay a courier company to sent it to Shipito, which would negate the costs. (PS don't forget our GST is payable on goods and freight if they (combined) exceed $1000 threshold and there is about $40 customs fee as well).
I hope this helps
I appreciate it Bill, but I only needed one configured unit as a baseline for the rest. Since I can't purchase the other systems in a barebones configuration, I'll be going a different route to meet my requirements. Thanks.Has anyone purchased a unit from him?
Kal,
I'll take it your talking about the system listed on eBay by NES International for $6799.00 as it matches your spec perfectly.
I just reached out to Paul and expect him to respond quickly but I think he can get this price lower!
Give me a day or so and Ill let you know what I can him to do for you.
If he gets this down to around 5K will you purchase 8, which I believe was the quantity you were originally looking for?
I thought the same thing.. but after applying the BIOS 2.5.3 to a C6220 board, it was not able to POST with a v2 CPU, unfortunately.Looking at this page, the Bios update seems to be for both C6220 and C6220 II clearly showing V2 microcode, so it should work.

Can anyone else confirm?
