WTB: drive cages from a Supermicro 216 cases

[rthorntn]

Hi

This is a bit of an obscure one, anyone out there with an old 216 case that they want rid of and a power drill.

I only want the 24x2.5" cage, you get it out by drilling out the rivets, takes 10 minutes.

So I'm asking for 216 owners that would be happy to hack up the case for me and send the cage to me in Australia.

I would offer $200 for the cage plus $50 for your labour.

Its a very long shot but there's no harm in asking. Maybe you were about to dump a 216.

Cheers
Richard

Get a used 216 and take the cage out by yourself ...

Thanks but that item is $1150 USD delivery to Australia.

I can't find any used locally, for a reasonable price.

These are just eBay shipping prices. If you get an address in US and ship it from there I bet it's at least 1/4th of the delivery. Otherwise your original offer would look ridiculous already as this would be the shipping only.

Also I'm sure if you ask someone nicely to buy it for you in US, someone would help you out.
