What is it worth? (A1SAi-2750F setup)

[Peanuthead]

Not sure if this is the correct place for this, so bear with me. I have a Supermicro A1SAi-2750F with 32GB RAM not currently in use and figured I might as well unload it. I checked Ebay pricing and they are somewhat crazy in the value I think hence my asking here.

Has it been RMA'd to fix the C2000 issue?

 

[Peanuthead]

Great question. It is a pre-bug processor so no issues. I RMAed to SM and they returned it stating the prior.

If you look at the actually sold motherboards on EBay they range from like $130-$180 in past few months. I don't think the boards are that desirable anymore, just too slow, especially single-core performance compared to C3000 or Xeon-D.

Surprisingly they're still worth a decent amount. I sold one of the C2758 barebones (in a 1U chassis) with 32GB of RAM on eBay a month ago for $500 shipped.

Single core performance will suck, that's a given. But for other tasks, this still is a great little board with a lot to be desired (low power and low noise)

I've been running one as a FreeNAS box for a while then converted it to a proxmox host to run pfsense, FreeNAS and a windows VM as the 32gb was under utilised.

It's been running for over 5 years on a 24/7 basis. Absolutely no issues !

Completely agree with @zack$ 's point, i have one running as a proxmox host with FreePBX, win10 VM, LXCs for VPN, scripts, web server etc. it's an excellent little machine for testing purpose and it's perfect for LXCs.

LXC/LXD is exactly what I run on one of these. Same host hosts a few QEMU/KVM clients - like the dodgy Win7 install I used to do my taxes on lol and keep around for Windows-only network detection clients of some older network hardware. I have a second C2xxx box that just sits as a fileserver host. I like the low power and that they don’t require a ton of cooling in a 1U.
