looking for one of these. ebay is filled with tons of the 36-bay and 45-bay variants, but those only have 2U of space for the MB/CPU area and I want 4U to be able to add GPUs and generally just have more space.

anyone have one for sale? really want just the chassis itself with all drive trays. I don't need a whole server build.

I may part with 1 if you want to pick it up in California, not interested in shipping a Supermicro 846.


In years past the $300-400 range units were most often SAS1 and\or without drive trays.

IIRC $400-500 was more the common price for the 846 w\trays and PSUs and price vary based on options like power supply type, 2.5" internal, backplane type, etc...

They're also EXPENSIVE to ship, especially in 2022 :(

Bummer. Sorry but I am not interested in shipping. It takes me 1hr to package a server of this size\weight.
If you wanted a complete one with motherboard\cpu\ram\etc, I would ship but an empty server isn't worth the effort for me.

About a year or two ago, eBay was flooded with these for like 350 shipped with SAS2 backplanes , drive trays and PSUs. I’m upset that I didn’t get one at the time.

I have a couple 3u's that are idle and available shipped from NY...they will fit GPUs as long as the fans are not crazy

will they accept SQ psus?

I currently already have a SM 3U chassis, with the 1200w SQ psus I could swap over.

TBH I had platinum 1kw PSUs in the case prior to my recent upgrade and they were silent -- how can I check if "SQ" PSUs are compatible? I dont see why they wouldnt be...arent the SM PDUs basically universal?

I'm really more interested in a 4U case since I want more space in the chassis for GPUs (remember top mounted power cables, plus some models have taller pcb, wont easily fit in 3U). and since I already have a 3U SM chassis, this feels more like a sidegrade.

But what are you asking shipped for this 3U case?

I use right angle GPD power adapters in my rackmount cases for exactly this reason

$450 shipped w/ trays and no PSUs (save weight)

that comes with an expander (EL1) & IMO the passthru is more worthwhile bc it can support 12G drives on a 9300+ HBA
id include PSUs but i only have regular 900w to give
