Hey all! I've kind of come to the realization that A) I'm kind of a hoarder (this group doesn't help that!) B) I tend to have too many projects going on to get everything that I want to get done, done. So, it's time to purge some things and consolidate.
All systems or mobo/cpu/RAM combos have been tested with at minimum 1 hour or CPU Stress and Prime95, as well as another hour of Memtest86. Heatsinks will be removed for shipping (either shipped separate or same box, depending on the heatsink). All BIOS have been reset to default (prior to testing), passwords cleared.
Open to trades. I'm currently looking for;
* a few 12-24 port 1\10gbe switches (ICX6450-24P, etc)
* DDR4 3200 16gb sticks
*pFsense build hardware (T620 Plus, low power 1U machine, etc)
* a few pairs of 500gb-1TB Nvme's
* A few 6-10TB CMR drives (preferably Ultrastar or other enterprise class)
* 1U/2U 120v PDU w/ branch level meter/switching
* Decent office chair
SOLD Intel S2600CP4 / 1x E5-2603v2 / 4x4gb DDR3 1600 ECC - $250
This board has next to no use on it. According to the drives that I pulled out that were original to the system, 3.5 years on it. Not a spec of dust on this or in the HS fins.
Supermicro X9DRD-7LN4F / 2x E5-2620 / 32gb DDR3 1600 ECC - $250
Another very, very clean and low hour board. This came out of a decommissioned-early Datto box.
* Additional pictures here *
* X9DRD-7LN4F (E-ATX, 2011, includes rear IO plate)
* 2x E5-2620 w/ Dynatron copper HSF's (will fit in a 2U) Supports up-to 135w CPU's
* 32gb RAM, 8x4gb
* Six x8 PCIE 3.0
* 4x SATA3, 2x SATA6
* On-board LSI 2308 SAS2 (8 port)

Includes copper 2U sized HSF, rear IO plate. Socket AM2
Intel S5000PSL / 2x E-5310 / 4GB RAM - $70
Not sure what this was for. I *do* have a SC5400BRP 5U chassis that was designed for this board if you're interested and local (listed below).

I have a LSI MR SATA 300-8x RAID card available for this if you want it.
HPE DL80 Gen9 LFF - 2x E5-2609v3 / 80GB RAM - $500
This was my last Unraid server. Some things to note about this. I purchased and installed the GPU enablement kit for this (P/N 765518-B21) however I never got around to using it as the 1050Ti that I bought specifically for this box was DOA. The GPU kit allows you to use a full length, full height x16 GPU in the machine. The enablement kit comes with a PCI-E power splitter that will not work with the existing 550w PSU. As the 1050Ti didn't need external power, this wasn't an issue. The mainboard does have a 6pin that you could split off, conveniently right at the GPU slot. The other bracket to convert it back to a vertical, non-riser slot is included.
I "modified" the fans as even in my basement, this was louder than I wanted it to be. This was done by routing the fan signals in to a Arduino Nano, filtering them, modifying the output and then shipping them back out (this is the purple and blue wires that run along the rear of the fans in the pics). The Nano is powered by the USB port under the GPU bay. It still gives plenty of cooling at idle/low power usage, but ramps the fans to full power at full load. I can keep it as it is, or I'm happy to convert it back to stock. The conversion is simply taking the Arduino out and soldering the fan wires back together, instead of being intercepted by the Arduino. The only "odd" thing is that if the server has power, but is off, one of the fans runs at 100%. I believe it's a bug in my code, but never cared about it as it was never powered off. This setup also saves a considerable amount of power, now idling at ~130w instead of the ~200 that it did stock.
Also, I had intentions of adding a 3rd backplane to the top row of the LFF bays. It can be done, though you'll only be able to use 3 of the 4 bays as there is no great way to replace the power/ID/USB insert. Currently it has 3 vent inserts in the top row, 1 caddy and 3 blanks in the 2nd row and 4 blanks in the 3rd row. I have 10 more caddies that are included with this to fully populate every bay (including the top row, should you add a third backplane). I'm also including (4) 3.5 > 2.5" drive bay adapters.
The machine has all of the cooling guides and everything is complete to my knowledge, other than the missing PCI slot covers (I had a few HBA's and 10gbe cards in this). I don't think I have any half height covers that I can fill them in with.
Absolutely a great box and I really hate to sell it, but with a new build, I just can't justify a use for this. I'm going to miss iLO for sure, it blows iDRAC away!

I'm in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, 15236. I'd be willing to meet a reasonable distance (within an hour or two). If need be, I'll ship it.

Acer ZC-700G All In One - $100
This was purchased for a project, used for ~6 months and has sat since.

DVD/Floppy COMBO?! - $10
[Untested!] A bit of a fun one here, something I've never come across before. This is a slim tray load DVD w/ IDE interface, coupled to a USB interface 3.5" floppy drive in a 5.25" form factor. Includes the USB and power cables. This is untested as I would as soon throw it in the trash than to put a machine together with an IDE interface to test the DVD drive. The floppy side would be easier to test, if I still owned a floppy disk to test it with. This is really being thrown up for sale as it's a unique thing that I thought someone might be interested in.

[HARD DRIVES]
All drives came from pulled RAID arrays. As such, power on hours, load cycle counts, etc all are within a few digits of each other. All drives pass basic SMART testing and show "OK".

No data on this yet. I pulled this out of my old workstation, still need to retrieve data from it and wipe it.
[CHASSIS]
Some of this is going to be more of a generic info, if you're interested let me know and I'll get more info. I do not have the rails for any of these, unless otherwise noted. I would prefer local pickup on these. I don't know that I can ship them in a cost effective way with the packaging that would need to be purchased. I'm open to options though.
Chenbro 2U - I believe this is a RM21706. 6x 3.5" hotswap w/ backplane, 1x 5.25", 1x fixed 3.5", E-ATX. Has a PSU.
Intel SC5400BRP 5U - 6x 3.5" hotswap SATA/SAS backplane, 3x 5.25" (I believe I only have 4 of the 6 quick rails for the 5.25". 2x830w redundant PSU. It has all of the shields for the S5000PSL board listed above. I am the pics you are searching for.
SOLDSupermicro SC822TQ-400LPB 2U - 6x 3.5" hotswap SATA/SAS w/ backplane, 1x5.25", 1x fixed 3.5", 1x fixed slim bay for optical. E-ATX. 400W PSU. Nearly a functionally identical chassis to the Chenbro above.
Info & Terms
I'm new'ish to STH (what an awesome resource!!!) so I have no trading references here. I've done a lot of trading over at Ars Technica (username LordAthens), though it's been a while. It appears that the Beerology reference database has been shuttered for use, but my old ref's are still there, here. My eBay profile is here. My FB Marketplace Commerce profile is here.
* As I don't have any trading refs here, I'm happy to do a 50% deposit, balance on receipt of item type of scenario (providing that you DO have good references).
* Shipping on your terms and cost. USPS, FedEx and UPS are all do-able for me, I really have no preference. If you have an account with a preferred shipper and want to send me a shipping label, that's fine. Shipping is from Pittsburgh, PA 15236. Local pickup / meet is certainly fine as well.
* Payment - Zelle, Venmo, Check or Money Order all work for me. While I still have a PayPal account, I refuse to use them anymore.
* Contact - I prefer FB Messenger as it's fast and I generally don't miss messages, my Messenger. If email, lordathens at Google's popular email service.
