****SOLD****

I'm upgrading / reorganising my homelab, so I want to get rid of some stuff.

I'm selling an IBM X3850 X5 Server. It's a 4U, heavy-duty workhorse.
With its 1024GB (yes, 1TB) RAM, it is perfectly suited for all your In-memory database, Big Data or file storage experiments!

It is equipped with 4x Xeon E7-8870 CPUs (10C / 20T each) and has 40C / 80T in total.
Because they're the E7-8XXX versions, you can even connect another X3850 X5 via QPI! You can also additionally connect IBM MAX5 memory extension units for even more memory.

It has all the Enterprise features like (dual) redundant PSUs, integrated management unit / webinterface, RAID controller, etc.
Another notable feature is that the server is surprisingly quiet, even under full load for longer periods (can probably be placed in your living room without annoying everybody else)

Condition is good with the usual scratches and of course fully working. Can be tested either on pickup or delivery, I've got a Windows disk with Cinebench, etc.

Location: Darmstadt, Hessen, Germany
Shipping isn't really an option due to its weight (~40-50kg), personal pickup is preferred. I'm also willing to deliver the server in a limited distance of Darmstadt for petrol allowance.

I'm asking for 1000€
Can be paid either in cash on pickup or bank transfer upfront.

No warranty, no refunds, etc... As usual.


If you have any questions, please ask!

Interested
BTW, what exact memory sticks does it contain?
And is Hachenburg close enough for you to deliver?

Note that the Server supports a maximum of 1066MHz when all slots are filled anyway.

Hachenburg is fine!

I will bring a disk with Windows with me on delivery in order that we can verify it's working (Cinebench, AIDA, HWInfo)

I also have 8 Trays for this server to sell. Do you also want to buy them @Iaroslav ?

Great value, you definitely treat this one good!
Actually, I planned to use it for some calculations without those tons of RAM, still got where to use 16Gb sticks, if only they weren't so much mixed and at least 1333, as I had issues with different modules in a single setup before.
@MartinM hope that fits you well!
