I need to keep several servers online that I want to have simply running for IPMI firmware / BMC testing from previous generations.
If anyone has lines on chips like the E5-2603 V3, E5-1603 V3, or other low-end CPUs I need 2 more of them budget is around $50 / CPU or $100 total which seems to be a good but not always available ebay price for the CPUs. I have already gotten four at $45.
Also, I need these to be non-ES/QS just in case there are issues with future microcode patches.
If anyone sees good options, or has them on a shelf collecting dust, please let me know.
