In August, I bought a used server for $1k. It was manufactured in 2017 and it probably cost at least $50k when it was new. Things are expensive when they are new, but everything new will eventually become old.
- huijzer 3y agoCool! What are the specs?
- slavik81 3y agoI purchased two Dell Poweredge C4130 servers with 2x Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 (18 cores @ 2.3GHz), 128 GiB of RAM @ 2400 MHz, and 2x 2000W PSUs. One with 4x AMD MI25 and one with 2x AMD FirePro S9300 X2. I rounded the cost. It was 2.5k USD for the pair, including shipping. The machines were labelled YETI1 and YETI2. I will have to take good care of them because I think they may have some historic significance. In any case, these machines have a second life as workers for the Debian AI Team CI.
