Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I have a 1U server that I don't utilize anywhere close to ideally,
and I am broke and have to liquidate it.<br>
<br>
I paid like $1200 for the thing in April. Make me an offer. It is
available at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.serversdirect.com/Servers/Rackmount/id-4529/SD-RTS1U1P-003">http://www.serversdirect.com/Servers/Rackmount/id-4529/SD-RTS1U1P-003</a>
brand new for $995 today, and the specs shown there match the one I
have.<br>
<br>
Specs as provided by Linux (cpuinfo, drive list, dmesg boot log, and
lscpu output) are available at:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.fortifiedtechsystems.com/static/specs.tar.gz">http://www.fortifiedtechsystems.com/static/specs.tar.gz</a><br>
<br>
Overview:<br>
<ul>
<li>Quad Core Intel Xeon E3-1220 V2 CPU, clocked at 3.1 GHz (CPU
fam 6, step 9, model 58)<br>
</li>
<li>16 GB RAM</li>
<li>Two ethernet interfaces<br>
</li>
<li>Runs Fedora 20 wonderfully. Runs CentOS 6. Should run CentOS
7 without issue.</li>
<li>I've used this system to run virtual machines on. They're
virtually always idle. I haven't even used three of the four
VMs running on the system in > 6 months. The one I do use is
a simple server that I'm going to move off-LAN if the server
sells.<br>
</li>
<li>Load average is nearly always < 0.1. That's how little I
use it.</li>
<li>It works wonderful under stress test loads. Gets loud when
properly utilized. Sounds like a jet at boot and under heavy
load. Not something you want in the corner of your living
room. :-)</li>
</ul>
<p>So, if anyone wants it, make me an offer. First reasonable offer
who's willing to pick it up gets it. Only caveat is that I will
need enough time to move one VM off the system and wipe it before
turning it over, so I'll need about two days time for the system
to be ready for pickup, if I don't have a chance to get to it
before it's actually "sold".<br>
</p>
<p>If I don't get any bites here after a week, I'll likely list it
locally on CL.<br>
</p>
<p>I'll post a follow-up if/when it sells. Please contact off-list
so we don't clog everyone's pipes.<br>
