Hello guys! I just want to share with you an auction about that server. It starts with 1 USD and has no reserve price. I think it worth your attention. Thank you.

Is this your own listing?
Seems weird to say it will be shipped from Russia but only to the USA.

| I bought one of these recently. I had help getting it into the car, and had to partially disassemble it in the car so that it was light enough to get it out by myself. So yeah, shipping won't be cheap! |

Nice I have found you here!
What do you think about its CPU?
16 cores with 64 threads with 4.2Ghz and 160 Mb of L3 looks beefy on paper |

The one I bought was missing the boot drive, so I never got to play with it. I would have liked to spend a few days tinkering before I had to pull it apart. I actually bought it for the RAM, which I used to upgrade a few x86 servers for a client. The CPUs are now in my collection. |

Oh that is sad that such systems go for parts. Actually seller of this server offers free OS installation of whatever OS supported on that server. |
