...that's cheaper than my entire X3440 server I just bought 4 months ago. Yes please.

Please don't send me angry hate mail for snatching this up. Can't pass up a server being sold for 10% of its actual value.

**** me, now I have to buy the Gen8 trays. And a second CPU is going to cost more than the entire server. FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS :(

Eh, I'll probably keep it single chip for now. After all, I'm going from an ancient Lynnfield to Sandy Bridge-EP. If I end up holding onto this system for an extended period of time, the processors will probably come down as all the Sandy Bridge-EP stuff comes off lease.

Seller apparently had two identical ML350e Gen8s. He offered to sell me the other one at the same price using a paypal invoice, which I happily took him up on the offer. :p Now, there's still that task of getting some hard drive trays...

Under overview it states "Tower only", are you sure the price includes mobo, ram and cpu?

I think he means that he's not including literature, media, or power cords with it. I don't think he'd list specs otherwise if he was listing an empty tower.

Got the servers. Shockingly not a scam. Feel like I've robbed someone... They even smell new. No scratches anywhere.

@Patrick Is there an info page for linux bench stuff? I want to get this done tonight so I can move vmware over to this new server.

I felt the same when I was offered a 24U dell rack, R710 with 144GB of ram, 2x R410's with 1 quad, 16GB of ram, 4x1TB drives and 2x Dell 2U 1kW upses for 250€.
Now I got nice rack and some dell servers :p

Running the benchmarks on the ml350e gen8.

It's amazing what they've done with computers these days:

That's with the server actually running and doing the benchmark! Had to double check what was plugged in to the KAW.

The E5 series was a big power consumption drop. Cannot be stated more simply. There was a large delta from the 5600's.
