I'm giving away around 50x LFF Carriers for Data Direct Networks JBOD:


They need to be gone by Sunday, otherwise I will dispose them.

I can ship them at your cost (or local pickup in Darmstadt, Germany). I will however not repack them. I will add some bubble foil to the top so that they don't fly around like crazy, but that's it (so shipping at your risk)

I have few of Supermicro and Intel X8 and X9 servers which I am unable to sell and I don't have the heart to throw them away. I'm located in Czech Republic. I can send them if you pay for shipping, but they weight a lot, so it won't be cheap.

  • SuperServer 2026TT-H6RF
  • SuperServer 6026TT-HDTRF
  • Intel SR1600URR
  • Intel SR1690WB

Also lot of disks, processors and RAM. Some free, some for symbolic price. Just let me know.
I just sent you a pm :)

BCM-57810S - heat sink slightly loose but the (newish) paste is holding it, noctua fan modification. I'll add two LNA for the noctua as well.
The bracket has been bent and trimmed to use in a lenovo tiny....but the noctua fan does not allow the top cover to go on.
One of the ports has been set to 2.5G using ediag.exe to use with a GPON HSGMII module (you can revert it back easily).

Located EU (France), buyer pays shipping, free to a good home(lab).

Anyone interested in 2x Cisco B200 M4 Blades (Cisco UCS B200 M4 Blade-Server), with 2x E5-2698 v3 each, and including heatsinks?
No RAM, no nothing else. Also cannot test them. However, they look absolutely clean. I am guessing that they were replacements, that were never needed.

Would part with them, if you are willing to pay for shipping (consider the weight!).
Inside of Germany, it would cost something like 10-24 EUR (depending on the weight, i.e. if its both or one).

Would prefer someone took them both at once. Otherwise they will soon find their way to the E-Waste site. PM, if you are interested.

Edit:
I will only deal with someone who can show some form of reference, that he/she is trustworthy.
Oh and one more thing, due to recent events:
When I ask for references and you think you can get snappy for some reason ==> auto ignore!


Gone now. Thanks!

Seemingly broken X520-DA2. I got this as new-old stock from a seller, seems one port is dead and looks like flux residue on the back, so seems like it was poorly repaired or something went wrong with it. You can see it on the back of the PCB.
Free for anyone that wants a play with it, otherwise it goes to e-recycling end of Jan.

Buyer pays shipping, located in France. I can also check normal post vs UPS for best shipping price if you PM me your address.

Lenovo Tiny PCIe riser (for M720q) and wifi card with bracket + screws.
I upgraded to a bifurcated riser so no longer have a need for these.

Does anyone have spare 3.5 inch drive carriers for Dell R520/R530 servers? Dell does not sell them as parts anymore, you have to buy them with an HDD, but then it charges an arm and a leg for the combo. We have some spare HDDs from machines that have died and I want to add them to my university lab's old servers so that we can repurpose them.

If this is a genuine Intel nic (which it seems to be), I would try to see if Intel will warranty it.

You should be able to find tons of these in the used market. It's the same caddy as the Rx10 and Rx20 series which are plentiful.
