[MiniKnight]

$900 BIN or $600 right now at auction: Supermicro 1U Dual Intel Xeon E5 2650 16 Core 32 12GB 128GB 813M X9DRL If Server | eBay 1U and has some ram (eeek 2GB sticks) and a 128gb ssd.

Also lower spec but OK - Supermicro Sys 5017R MF 1U Rackmount Server Intel Xeon E5 2620 16GB RAM | eBay $450 ain't bad.

thanks for the post / info, on a side note (joke)... on that 1 CPU 16gb ram unit, i cant believe supermicro makes a chassis *THAT* crappy lol. for a manufacture who makes such amazing quality parts (chassis and MBs, i LOVE SM stuff) i had to laugh when i saw that chassis in the ebay listing ( and had to do a double take on the label to be sure it was real SM). Maybe it works for some home setups, but JEEZ!

Called market segmentation..

@james23 I think you've mistaken a case that is not feature rich for one that is of crappy quality. The SC5xx models are as you mention very basic, but there are many business cases for a low cost short depth chassis that runs a system with few drives or add in cards. A great example would be @Patrick using one for his Xeon D testing.

I have two of these cases and the build quality is quite good (everything always fits neatly) with none of the razor sharp edges you'll find in some cases. The other nice thing is they are so cheap new you don't have to worry about finding good deals on used cases. The two I use are for machines running pfsense and a few other low resource always on services. I don't know why I'd want a larger, louder and more power hungry chassis for that.

Nice find on both! Looks like the second one was already bought by someone.
