Too bad the prices of barebones 2011 chassis from HP/Dell haven't fallen much.

I must admit - I got 6x of the E5-2670's today. Also managed to pick up two more of the same Supermciro Twin that I have in the Las Vegas colo with LSI SAS 2208 and Mellanox FDR onboard today at a decent price.

Going to end up sub $1000/ node for a pretty high-end setup. I was thinking of using these for either an OpenStack or Proxmox cluster.

Yes and now they probably won't drop a while. Though that does not affect me too much shipping for entire chassis tends to be unreasonably high and on the German ebay there are almost never any decent deals.
Probably something about our laws making reselling of used datacenter hardware hard and not very profitable.

Exactly. I was thinking in my head when I saw the price increase "I guess it finally hit him that he was selling it lower than everyone else out there."

Shoot, with people showing that vt-d was working with the C1 chips, I was ready to jump on board.

He doesn't appear to be going below $170 ea. for 2 chips.

Too bad there's another seller starting at $178 with Best Offer available.
Hadn't seen these posted yet... More SR0KX's available:
Intel SR0KX - 2.60 GHz E5-2670 115W 8C/20MB Cache/DDR3 1600MHz/NoHeatSink
I'll start at $120 ea. for 2 and see where it goes...

When I saw the price increase, I removed him from my watchlist and I just noticed the guy selling the C2 CPUs for $178. Let us know how that goes.

I'm still on the edge. Granted, I ordered a few but I'm really looking into power consumption and I can't really find anything definitive. Has anyone here plugged theirs up to a kill-a-watt yet?

I'm awaiting @Patrick's findings. I PM'd him on it but he says he hasn't tested yet but is getting chips.
