Most of this is not strictly server hardware so let me know if it's not kosher.

X79 Combo

EVGA X79 motherboard - I/O shield, most accessories included.

Intel Xeon E5-1650V2 - 6c12t, IB-E, unlocked multiplier. I have not tried overclocking this combo yet but the EVGA board is more than up to it. Basically a 4930k.

CPU block: TouchAqua/Bitspower block. Unused. I've used this model of low-cost block in other builds before with lots of success. It's a very low-restriction block.

VRM block: EK copper/acetal block specifically for this board. New thermal pad.

Combo is $340 shipped. Not separating parts.



R9-290

Sapphire R9-290 Tri-X. WB is a new Aquacomputer block. Backplane is 3D printed (PETG, temperature resistant >80C) of my own design. The backplane is in 2 parts. I'd like to say I had the same design idea as Nvidia on the stock 980 backplane to make the rear section removable for top-card blower intake but the truth is my printer just isn't big enough. I do not have the original cooler.

$120 shipped. Not separating parts.



DDR4 RDIMM

2x8GB DDR4-2133 and 2x8GB DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory

$100 for the 2133 and $115 for 2400.
