bubbaQ Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I need a box for a special project. It is not for unRAID and I don't need any hot-swap bays. But I need some horsepower. Dual Xeons with at least 6 cores each (prefer 10 or more) and at least 2.6gHz. Prefer Supermicro mobo w/ IPMI but will consider something else if it's a real screamer. Must be 2U with a single (not redundant) PSU (I can't stand the sound of the 40mm fans in the redundant PSUs. I plan to water cool it with an aquarium chiller to minimize noise.) RAM is less important, but need at least 24GB. I prefer a complete system rather than building piecemeal, but will consider anything. Quote Link to comment
demonmaestro Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) I guess the big question is do you want new? How much you looking to budget? Shipped to you? Location? I can build custom SuperMicro systems and have direct contact with distributors for them. I mean I have a pretty nasty Poweredge T610 with dual Xeon 6 core processers (24threads total) with 96gb of RAM and 12tb or storage. Edited June 25, 2017 by demonmaestro Quote Link to comment
bubbaQ Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 Definitely used to max bang/buck. I've found several dual hex-cores with plenty of RAM for $200-275 range + ship. But I'd go higher to get more cores. No storage needed. Quote Link to comment
