New thread! Lowered prices from the last time, and my old server stuff is now in there. All prices are shipped.

Xeon E5-1620v4 CPU. Now with pictures! $150





Supermicro X10SDV-TLN4F new-in-box. Picture is a stock photo since the board is still in the box. This is a mITX mobo with an integrated Xeon D 1541 (8C/16T) CPU. It officially accepts up to 128GB of RAM (ECC or Registered ECC only) and has 2x onboard 10 GbE NICs, plus IPMI remote management and 2x 1 GbE NICs, all at very low power consumption. $700


Areca ARC-1883ix-24 2GB w/battery backup module. I can throw in some breakout cables too, if you need them. $775


Protectli 4-port Pfsense router. It's a J1900 CPU + 4GB RAM + 8GB SSD (may be 16, can't remember). Great little router, I just upgraded to a bigger model with hardware VPN encryption support. $150


*SOLD*
Supermicro X8DTL-iF + 2x Xeon X5680 CPU + 96 GB DDR3 + 2x HSF. This is the core of my old server and has worked great for a while now. My new system is actually a hair slower, but generates a bit less noise. FYI, the fans on the HSFs are only held on via friction- originally they mounted at an angle but the sockets are too close together for them to be mounted that way, so I just rotated them to be square with each other and they're fine. Friction holds them in completely fine, even when spun up to full. $200

What did you upgrade to with your pfsense install?
I built my own, based on a H110T and a Celeron G3900 CPU. It's a downgrade in some areas - only two physical NICs in particular. But the G3900 supports hardware crypto acceleration and is faster in general than the Atom-based CPU in the old system. My old system could handle the gigabit internet I have, but would choke on itself a bit when pushing large traffic over a VPN tunnel, and the new one doesn't have that problem.

If the Supermicro X10SDV-TLN4F price would be more reasonable I would be interested. They sell in EU for 250EUR in eBay.

Er, I cannot find *any* pricing on eBay anywhere near 250EUR. I'm obviously willing to negotiate on price and be reasonable, and I haven't adjusted pricing in a little while, but the absolute cheapest I see it on eBay is $600 USD for a used part and mine is NIB. Feel free to correct me, but I'd be happy to drop the price to $600 USD to match eBay's cheapest, but 250EUR shows up as $276 USD and that seems way too cheap.

Ok, my mistake. These are 1540's and yours has SFP+ ports. Maybe it is the reason as you don't need an extra card for 10G. I got one for myself for 230EUR and 4x 16GB ECC ram for 150EUR.They were all sold 2-3weeks ago.

Those look like a good deal! I'm not in EU though, and they're significantly more expensive on my side of the pond it seems. The board you're looking at is the X10SDV-F, where mine is the -TLN4F, but they're mostly the same.
