I know everyone is all about Xeon D for past few days but this deal is really good esp. considering quad Intel GBE lan onboard, 18 RAM slots, full compliment of PCIe slots without SuperMicros stupid EEATX form factor and IPMI, even at BIN price IMO.
If I didn't already get my X8DTE-F I'd be all over this, heck debating if I want to switch out right now

Not bad if you wanted to build a cheap box or have most of the parts already.

Exactly, grab a pair of L5640 for about $130 and you'd have 12C/24T for under $200, cost of a single v1 24/26xx E5
