Yeah, probably the E300. I don't see the E302 for sale on CDW.com but that isn't a sure tell, I suppose. How embarrassing, I honestly thought that was a heatsink. :oops:

I like CDW Outlet barebones because every great once in a while you get other hardware that was added and accidentally left in there from the previous customer. ;)

They do have the E302, and in terms of machines, the E302 is a passively cooled box, so probably more versatile for the home environment...although you'll need more temperature tolerant spinners for them. I kinda doubt the CDW outlet listing is for the 302, though. The base model E300-9D barebones with the Xeon-D 2123T is quoted at 850 USD, so a return-and-relist E300-9D chassis with 4 8GB DDR4 DIMMs is at a 160 dollar discount...Not bad.

Either ways, nice box and better than the plastic jobber HPe EC200As recently flogged on flea-bay - even at <200 USD those machines are a bit of a coin-flip.

So, @Patrick, "pennypinchers special" article for STH?

Hm...the base model E300-9D barebones with the Xeon-D 2123T is quoted at 850 USD.

So, @Patrick, wanna do a "pennypinchers special" article for STH?

@WANg it is harder to do these on units that are one-offs like this. We are actually pretty full editorially for the rest of 2020 at this point.
