Hey everyone. I rearranged my server gear and I'm downsizing a bit so I'm hoping someone will find these pieces useful. I'm open to some price negotiation, especially if you're buying multiples of the small piece parts. I searched eBay for US sellers to set a price baseline, so it's likely some of this is available cheaper from China. All prices include shipping within the continental US, except for the Norco which I won't ship. I'll discount items for local pickup. I can do Paypal and I'm pretty sure my wife can do Venmo. Thanks for looking!
Norco RPC-4224/4220 Bundle ($500?) [SOLD!]
First up is a Norco RPC-4224 chassis, modded for better airflow and low noise. All six internal fans have been replaced with Noctua for the best ratio of air movement (and static pressure) to noise. There are also three Noctua Y-adapter cables so that the six fans can be plugged into only three ports on your motherboard.
Note that the server components (mobo, etc.) shown in the picture are not included. I'll list below specifically what is included, or else please ask if you're unsure. To continue with the mods, there's a 4th fan cable which runs through a small hole in the side of the chassis, through the rack ear, to near the front handle. This is used to connect a custom 3d-printed fan bezel containing three more 140mm Noctua fans. There are two more Noctua Y-adapter cables in the fan bezel, so all three fans connect to the single port from the chassis. Re-usable zip ties are used to hold the fan bezel to the front handles. These pictures show how that looks both attached and detached.
And that's not quite all. If you buy this chassis I'll throw in for FREE a Norco RPC-4220 chassis which you can use as spare parts. The 4220 is missing one drive sled and two more are broken-but-usable, but that's 17 good extra sleds and possibly some backplane parts or whatever else might be compatible between the two chassis.
The RPC-4220 does include old components (mobo, CPU, memory, etc.) and one of the largest coolers I've ever seen. It's also been modded with a replacement fan wall to hold 3x 120mm fans, but those are not Noctua. In theory you could buy an expander and convert the 4220 to a JBOD to hang off the 4224, but I'm not encouraging that. I really think it's more of a "spare parts" situation.
With all that said, here's what's included in the Norco bundle:
- Norco RPC-4224 chassis, EMPTY, but otherwise complete (24 sleds) and functional
- Corsair HX 750W 80PLUS-silver power supply
- 4x Noctua NF-A8 80mm fans in mid wall
- 2x Noctua NF-R8 80mm fans in rear panel
- 3x Noctua NF-A14 Industrial PPC 140mm fans in custom 3d-printed front bezel
- 5x Noctua NA-YC1 splitter cables and at least one Noctua NA-EC1 fan extension (everything is pre-wired, ready to plug all 9 fans into 4 ports on your mobo)
- 4x SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 cables. Each cable handles 4 drives, so you can run 16 with this. You'll need 2 more cables (and a total of three 8-port HBAs) to run all 24 drives
- Norco RPC-4220 chassis with modded 3x120mm fan wall, 17 good sleds and some junk components
Now the catch, this bundle is LOCAL PICKUP/DELIVERY ONLY near Orlando or Melbourne, FL. I'm willing to drive a reasonable distance to unload it around central FL, say an hour radius around Orlando.
I'm also having a hard time figuring out what to sell this for, since it looks like brand new RPC-4224 chassis are going for $675-700. I usually ask ~50% of new price as a starting point, so that'd be ~$350. Then it contains ~$200 worth of Noctua gear, so that's another $100 at 50%, up to $450. Then there's the power supply worth over $100, the SAS cables, the 3d-printed parts, and of course the whole spare 4220 chassis being thrown in. It seems like $500 is a decent starting point? But frankly for that much cash I'd buy a Supermicro SC-846 instead, so I'm willing to talk about it. I'd also consider adding in some of the parts below, like the 9210 HBA or 4U heatsink, if that helps you complete a system.
LSI and Supermicro Parts
All of my HBAs have been flashed to LSI IT mode firmware if applicable (no RAID support), and include both a full size and low profile bracket. They were all just pulled out of my working systems, along with several JBOD components I'm no longer using. Again, prices are based on eBay US sellers and I'm willing to talk, especially if you want to bundle up the JBOD conversion parts into one sale.
$40ea - SAS9200-8e(2 available) (1 sold, 1 available) [includes one 1m SFF-8088 cable]
$40 - SAS9210-8i
$75 - Supermicro CSE-PTJBOD-CB2 (I'll include a blank I/O shield as well for your JBOD chassis, just remind me or tell me you want it before I ship)
$35ea - Supermicro CBL-0352L-LP, dual port SFF-8088 to SFF-8087 converter bracket (2 available)
$65 - Supermicro SNK-P0050AP4 active heatsink 4U
$10ea - various server fans
I don't really want to sell these as singles, as the shipping cost would be most of the value. Most of them go for $12-20 individually on eBay, so I've priced in a discount for buying a few at a time.
7x Supermicro FAN-0126L4 (Nidec 80mm v80e12bha5-57 in hot swap carrier for SC-847)
3x Supermicro FAN-0095L4 (San Ace 80mm 109p0812p1g09 in hot swap carrier for SC-846)
2x San Ace 80mm 109p0812p2c031 (no carrier, I believe these are for the rear panel of either an SC-847 or SC-846?)
3x Delta 80mm afb0812m (I believe these came out of Norco chassis?)
$45ea - Supermicro PWS-902-1r power supply (2 available)
[Let me know if you need a photo]
Free Stuff!
If you live in or around Orlando or Melbourne, FL we can arrange to meet and this stuff is yours.
