Hey folks. I recovered this from an estate sale. It was missing all the drive trays and looked kinda sad when I saw it. I took it home and made it my project.

During this estate sale liquidation, I gathered up hundreds of supermicro drive trays, so I spent a couple hours this weekend scrubbing dust off them and picked 24 nice ones to put in here. I tested it with my proxmox backup server and it works great! I put a couple 3tb dell drives into the chassis in various slots and they showed right up in smartctl.

Not looking to make a fortune here but it would be nice to see the fruits of my labor pay off and get used in someone's homelab / rack. Looking for $600 (especially if I drop it off). Could probably come a little lower if you're paying freight.

Local pickup preferred and I'll even drop it off within about 200 miles of my house Wildomar, CA (92595) for free. I'll go through the headache of shipping it if you just have to have it from far away, hah.

Here's my "canned" write up:
