I am looking for a short 1U rack server that is reasonably low powered, but still with a decent performance, capable of running something like Ubuntu with a few docker machines and at least two Raid1 capable SFF drives. 2'5". IO on front is preferrable.
Seems a bit tricky to find, do they have a special denomination, because I am having problems finding them, searching for "short 1u" on ebay gets a lot of mixed results. With short I mean a depth of about max 25 centimeters. That would be about max 10 inches.
supermicro sc505: Search Result | eBay is a candidate. Seems some Dell PowerEdge R230 CTO come in short versions as well.
Here is a relevant listing I found at a webshop 1U-4U Short Depth Systems rackservers but other than that it seems a bit hard to find cheapish used equipment.
Any hints on how to go about the searches?
