- kingnothing 10y agoEbay has Dell R5400 rack mount servers for under $100. 2.66 ghz quad core xeon, 16 gb ram. Not exactly the original poster's specs, but pretty close.

- squeaky-clean 10y agoI don't know if this specific one is a good buy, it's just the first thing that came up when I searched "HP Proliant", but here's an example [0]. Search for the names of servers from the past few years on eBay, and you can find some powerful hardware for cheap. Keep in mind they're typically very loud.

- ajford 10y agoThanks for that! I've been looking at picking up some old PowerEdge units, and never thought of that!
- ajford 10y agoIf you are in a decent metro (or near to one) check out Craigslist. I've seen quad-core Xeon boxen (HP Proliant and Dell Poweredge) for <200USD in my area. If I drive about 2 hours away, the prices are about 30% lower and about twice as many available. Might also google office or company liquidators in your area. You can often snag IT equipment and servers for fairly cheap from them as well.
- paulmd 10y agoCheck out http://www.savemyserver.com/ http://www.savemyserver.com/ and look at something like the PowerEdge 2950 III.
- tostitos1979 10y agoI have some "cloud" servers at home DELL C6100 .. Xeon, lots of RAM. I used them as a lab at one point but am now confused what to do with 'em. These days, I am playing with deep learning. Is it reasonable to pick up some cheap GPU to go into these? Any other ideas?
- paulmd 10y agoDoes your GPU fit that chassis? That is my major concern with that. Beyond that, the major weakness of those chassis is that they eat a bunch of power compared to modern processors. That's why they're being sold off. Other than that, the default GPGPU picks are either the OG GTX Titan or the 780 Ti since either has the same processor as the Tesla compute cards.
