Never done that and when its working it worked all the time.
Or rather I did not care about error status, the box wouldnt boot with the other modules in place, just beeping for invalid configuration.
No, had the CX3 or nvme in it, both worked fine.
Also, didnt find the q any more, but a regular 3 pin fan worked just fine as Sys Fan .
Damn - just realized that I do not have enough open ports for 10x 10Gbps conections for 5 servers, so that changes the calculation quite a bit, since I now also have to acquire 10+ extra 10gps ports 
I actually think I dobut you got 5 dual 10G nics already?
But those are cheaper anyway :-D - but good point - I have found a 8port netgear XS708T cheap, so if the seller is willing to sell me that I can have 5 ports on each switch and pretend its for failover purposes
O/c running 10G BaseT is not ideal for a low power build...
I know, but 5 servers living in their own little island is not very ideal either
And if you want to do any kind of storage sharing between the server, you need 10gbps or higher.
Not that 40Gbps uses less powerO/c - I am surprised you didnt catch my implicit recommendation of going to 40g
If you also factor in your need a switch capable of 40gbps - and I sold my 40gbps gear a while a go, so I am definately not buying that stuff back
Specs says min 26.3w, MAX when all ports fully used @line rate 49.5w - so quite a bitwhat does the 708t use? a sx6012 runs at 30w , thats not bad for qsfp+...
but o/c to each their own
But if you can find a SX6012 for me thats not extremely expensive, then I am all ears
I can buy this switch for 130 EUR - if you have a SX6012 you can sell me for the same or slightly higher - I will buy it Ofcourse I could also buy a SX6005, which probably have similar power consumption - and I would have a "dumb" switch which probably would be just fine if its primarily used for storage network.
In hindsigt - I should probably not have sold my SX6018 that I had

I often gave up because of 20-30 observers and didn't set up the sniper because I thought it will never allow me to go cheap here. Often, the bid I saw was just the selling price. Maybe you are right, but what prevents you to bid at the last sec at the max you want to go? If it doesn't work ok, if it works, you got a cheap popular item ... at least for the moment.
EDIT: I believe E3 12x5's have the graphic unit inside and are less 'energy efficient'

Realistic
Also, it took me 8 boxes to get 5 working completely fine - one got memory issues, two had problems flashing the latest iRMC version.
Kudos to the seller though, they kept on sending replacement units (free of charge) 'till i was happy and to boot I can keep the 3 semi-functional ones

Thats nice of them, but considering the unit price ex shipping its not really surprising.Also, it took me 8 boxes to get 5 working completely fine - one got memory issues, two had problems flashing the latest iRMC version.

I think you should send me one of the units that cannot be flashed - then I will try it with a v5 e3, and then we have a definite answer to that question. I will obviously pay for the shipping
