    Selling a spare setups:

    I’m running out of space and decided to send these off to the next geek – 

    (2) HP DL360p Gen 8’s each with dual Intel Xeon E5-2660’s, 192GBs of ECC DDR3 RAM, quad 1GbE NICs and independent iLO4 NIC, dual 460W power supplies in a 1U configuration. Rails available too. These are 8 SFF/2.5” setups with sleds and 2.5” HDDs are available. Price TBD by configuration, but lower that ebay and no shipping. BYO 1 slot GPU or remote access. Free wireless KB/Mouse with each server. Looking for best offer, but I’d rather have them gone. 

    HP ML350 Gen 6 (5u) Tower server.  Dual Xeon E5530s with 32GBs ECC DDR3 Ram (more available), 8 2.5″ bays, 3*3.5″ icy dock bay added, dual 1 GbE NICs and iLO2 NIC, DVD ROM, Dual 750 Watt power supply. This one is a work in progress. I am upgrading the server to silence the fan noise, so not stock. Had to cut the stock fan harness. Running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS currently for testing.
