Hello all
So I decided to retire my two node ec200a cluster in favor of minimicro nodes with real GPUs. I have been running these as my main storage cluster but recently moved all my disks back into one system. These were bought locally from the same guy that was (is) selling a bunch of them on ebay. Best part is, one of them has the 4x1Gbe expansion board. Bad part is, one of them has a dying GPU, but still functions fine headless.
Firmware and iLO4 have been updated to the latest versions I could find. Neither systems come with memory or any storage. As a lot of you may know, these do not come with the HDD caddies, but I ran them for about a year with the drives just sitting in the chassis. It was fine as long as you don't move them around much.
For the system with the network expansion board, I'm asking $275
For the system with the dying GPU, I'm asking $125
As for the memory, it's HP OEM SK-Hynix and Samsung, two sticks of each. All is PC4-2666 ECC RDIMM. Ran these in the system and they worked perfectly. I'm asking $120/stick.
I prefer local cash (I'm in NE Ohio) but will ship if we figure out a good way to avoid those damn Paypal fees.
Here's some pics
In this pic you can see the green artifacting in the video. It flickers around as it loads. I believe this is a common issue with these systems.
