Since we are now in Q4, making a Q4 lab cleaning thread.

All prices are going to be shipped to the US unless otherwise noted. International folks feel free to use Shipitto with a US address.

    • 5x Seagate ST300MP005 300GB enterprise performance 15K rpm hard drives - $290 for all 5.
    • 3x HGST 450GB SAS3 12gbps 15K rpm hard drives (model huc156045css200) - $150 for all 3.

I do not have boxes for these. Terms are that if you are local to the bay area will drop them off. If you are outside the bay area, will drop off at FedEx/ UPS store or elsewhere where you can arrange packing and shipping.

These will not have CPUs/ RAM, unless otherwise noted, however, see CPUs section and PM me for what is available.
  • HPE DL60 Gen 9 Barebones - $400 Local Bay Area CA Only
    • Setup with a single heatsink and blanks for the second CPU slot.
    • Dual socket capable
    • Can provide a low power CPU (e.g. E5-2603 or E5-2630L special chip that will work in this as well.)
  • (Sold) 1U Supermicro SYS-6018R-WTR $685
    • Will include 1U heatsinks
    • Has E5-2650L V3's installed now but selling as barebones. Can inquire about bundling.
  • (Sold) 2U ASUS 4-node in 2U system with 2x SATA per system + one M.2
    • 8x Xeon E5-2628L V4 CPUs included (these are NOT marked confidential)
    • Will include a 16GB Kingston M.2 boot drive for each node.
    • No RAM
    • Rails included
    • Heatsinks included
    • $2750
    • There will be a second one coming once I can figure out which CPUs I can part with and which I need for back-testing E5 generations.
    • Local buyers will entertain system only without CPUs

Bravo on accepting crypto (BTC, ETH, etc.) but why aren't more technology professionals, out enthusiasts in this space not super excited about Bitcoin? Half the people I approach to inquire if they accept Bitcoin don't even have a wallet set up.

I'm NOT giving any financial advice, just wondering why so many techy folks are missing the boat?

Two reasons. First, it is still a pain to go from crypto to cash. Second, and more importantly, unlike a credit card or PayPal there is no buyer protection.

We have done a few XMR for items on previous lab cleaning threads.

#3, in my opinion that is... it's very hard to "spend"

Unable to find items/services you need in BTC and challenging at the least to turn into "real money" make it an investment in the future, not a way to do business for goods/services.

I'm sure many are like me though and wish we picked up 10 to 20 when they were "high" at $200 ;) LOL!

@T_Minus hint - Buy this stuff with crypto. Use for a period. Sell for cash. You'll lose less in transaction fees that way!
This is an interesting approach. I was thrilled to build a workstation and pay for it entirely in Bitcoin (via NewEgg) early this year. If you use GDAX (Coinbase's exchange) to withdraw your cryptocurrency using Limit Sells you pay $0 in fees to convert back to fiat.

Added two Ubiquiti switches and a Mikrotik Router. The Mikrotik router is going to be XMR or other crypto only, no $.

Lowered prices on GPU blade server (a lot) and GRID M40 GPUs.

Added Intel DC P3700 400GB
