Hi guys,

sharing this here, as the seller told me he won't ship to my location in Canada

HP Proliant S6500 4U 8 Node CTO Chassis w 8x HP SL230S G8 Barebone | eBay

$2k for 8 x Dual LGA2011 servers that support both v1 and v2 CPUs with 16 dimm slots.

More infos on the SL230s G8: http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04128238.pdf

I think it's quite hot, but some people may not need this much. Most likely, @T_Minus will like this.

If they would ship to Canada at thé normal freight privés, i would have taken one of the 2. They want me to use Shipitto which charges me almost $1k just for shipping from their Warehouse to home... (The freight cost from his location to my location is $350 for this baby...)

Yep!

Not bad but you're paying the LGA2011 premium. There is a seller on ebay who sells the same chassis loaded with the 1366 SL390s for less than half the price with integrated QDR infiniband.

Depending on where you are you might be able to use a shipment reciever in the US and go pick it up. That is what i do as i am in toronto and use CBI in niagara falls to ship all my items to and then just make a quick run over to pick them up from there when i have time
