I picked this up on ebay with some idea that I'd swap the motherboard and CPU (I've also got a ryen board + cpu to get rid of if anyone wants that!) but I've realised I've got too many projects pending anyway, so I'm trying to clear things down.

What's included:
  • Ci Design NSR316 Chassis. 3U. 16 front-mounted hot-swap 3.5" drive trays, full height expansion slots, no rack rails.
  • 16x 2TB 7200 RPM LFF drives from either 2015 (HGST) or 2010 (Hitachi), all on hotswap front-mount caddies.I don't know what the backplane is, but if someone really cares I can see if I can find out.
  • 2x AMCC 9650SE-12/16ML PCI-E 16-Port SATA Raid Controllers. Why 2? Because on each half the ports are routed to expansion cards on the back so you could connect another 16 drives to this thing.
  • 3x 650W hotswap power supplies. 3Y POWER TECHNOLOGY YM-2651B, one of which beeps when plugged in, so assume faulty.
  • A 10G SFP+ Myricom Single Port 10G-PCIE-8B-S. Plus a a Fiberstore SFP-10GSR-5 10 SFP+ 850nm 300m module
  • 4port gigabit ethernet adapter. I've not pulled it out to check what it is
  • 2x 4 core opteron 2376 processors on a H8DAi+ Super Micro motherboard.
As you can see from the photos insides are quite clean and dust free, though the outside of the case has seen better days. I suspect much of the damage was incurred in shipping to me. (Drives were shipped separately, and seem fine)

This whole thing is very very heavy. Collection is recommended. E11 London. I'd like to get £275 for the lot. Cash
