Re: SuperMicro Server Systems

I thought this would be pretty self-explainatory, but I guess nobody bothered to use Google. There is only one SuperMicro motherboard which came in the 6014H-X8. Here's a link to the specs: http://www.supermicro.com/products/s...S-6014H-X8.cfm

And since the description said they had 1MB L2, these must be the Nocona Xeon's.

Re: SuperMicro Server Systems

Why should I have to use google for someone that knows what info is needed and doesn't include it?

And,, Where did you say "Supermicro" ??
And,, 6014H-X8 is not a motherboard.

The motherboard in that (assuming it has the original board) is X6DHR-X8G.
~~
Which I would have recognized as a Supermicro Motherboard without google ... LOL

Assuming 8x 1Gb sticks ~~ $120.00
I've picked up similar Super Mobos for ~~ $35+ship ~~ $45.00
CPU's ~$30-$40 each after ship x2 ~~ $75
Drives can be had for $20 x4 ~~ $80
~~~~
That's $320 assuming bargain prices and without even considering the rest of it.

Note that without using a riser card it only has one slot.
Doesn't matter if you are using it as configured.

Also is an E-ATX board if that matters to you.
It's NOT going to fit an ATX case if you are ever so inclined.

I scored a pair of these for $70 [for the pair] a few weeks ago.

ATX, supports 64-bit, supports dual cores.

And a single of their little brother also for $35.

ATX, supports 64-bit, but no dual core support.

The model of the system, if Google'd, would have shown anyone that it's the model number of a SuperMicro 1U system.

And,, 6014H-X8 is not a motherboard.

You're right, it's not. That's why I said, "There is only one SuperMicro motherboard which came in the 6014H-X8.

Note that without using a riser card it only has one slot.

Ah, so that's why those slots look so close together in the little picture?

Anyway, so the bottom line is that they are not a great price, correct? I asked them days ago if they could lower the price at all, and they said if I bought 5+ they could. Haha!

Re: SuperMicro Server Systems

"blowing out a bunch of 6014H-X8" seemed to me to be talking about some home brewed in-house build. - Why would I used google?

It's a fair/reasonable price I think IF you want to use it as is.
Definitely not over priced but not like a blow-out sale price either.
It's semi-sorta on the proprietary side for my taste but if you want 1U/2U that's how it goes.

If you do go for one make sure that riser is included.
Might be a bugger to find one if not.

Re: SuperMicro Server Systems

Eh, I decided to let it go. The only good thing was that it had 8GB of RAM. I never see 1U's on craigslist with that much ram. They always have 1 or 2, rarely 4, and it's amazing to see 8.

I don't really play games on my PC anymore so I'm just looking for something that has tons of ECC RAM and lets me do well in things like GIMP, Acrobat, Photoshop, maybe things like ORCAD (lol yeah right) etc. I mean, I like my little Tualatin servers, but they're certainly not fast.

Re: SuperMicro Server Systems

RAM is pretty cheap now.
Even ECC.
Or maybe it's just that I'm old enough to remember paying $175 for 8Mb RAM.
Yes, that's an M.
