    WTB: Supermicro JBOD power module (CSE-PTJBOD-CB3)

    Looking for a CSE-PTJBOD-CB3 -- this is the Supermicro JBOD power module (for their expansion chassis etc.). I'm not interested in a CB1 or CB2, gotta be a CB3 (the only ones that have IPMI). Hoping to get one for ~$125. I'm OK with F&F if seller has substantial positive Heatware. Me on Heatware

    Samsung 850 EVO issues - can't read from drive in any OS

    I have an apparently dead-ish 850 Evo in my hands. This previously, in another system, was in use as the boot drive for a Win10 install. As far as I know it was GPT, and only partitioned however the windows installer would partition it (no manual partitioning). A few weeks ago, the computer...

    Dell R710 -- whole (Pacific NW) or parted (shipping)

    Looking to sell off a part of my home IT lab. I have two R710s and an R810... the R810 does everything I need, so, I'm going to sell both of my R710s. This is just a listing for one of them - I need to boot and test the 2nd one before I list it. It has two Xeon E5520s (Quad Core, HT, 2.26GHz)...

    Selling some headphones

    I'm going to preface this by acknowleding that these are not "great" deals. I'm open to reasonable offers. I'm not in a hurray to sell, or a "must sell" situation so if these don't end up moving, I don't really care. 1 HiFiMan HE-400 (not "i" or "s") - $200 - < 10 hours on these. I'd put them...

    Registered ECC DDR3 - tons of it

    This is my 2nd load of this stuff - first one sold out rather quickly due to a few buyers taking a lot of it in large batches. These are all working pulls - they worked when pulled from systems (upgraded to 16GB DIMMs), and were placed in clamshells. They're ready to be sent out to you now...

    FS: 8GB Registered ECC DDR3 DIMMs

    Edit: Every DIMM I have so far has been sold and shipped as of 3/31. I will be getting more this coming weekend, 4/4-4/5. I'm closing this thread down and will post a new one once I get an idea of what hardware I'll have available to sale.

    Can we talk vmware books for a moment?

    Good evening, As I sit here running a P2V, I'm surfing amazon, blogs and [H]. As an avid reader, I like having books - fiction, non-fiction, technical and everything in between. At present, I have one vmware orientated book - geared mostly as a study guide for VCP5. I was hoping to get...

    Second step getting serious about this (a continuation of a pervious post)

    Good evening everyone! A couple of months ago, I made a decision to again take more control of where my IT career was going.

    "stuck" VMs - looking for help, please

    Have an odd dilemma, and I'm trying to find the root cause of this instead of band-aid'ing it. Recently, my trusty C6100 died. After much troubleshooting, I decided to just buy a new, similar system off eBay. I found one, bought it, and received it yesterday. Of note, the C6005 I bought was...

    Finally took the first step to get serious about this (VCA-DCV passed)

    Well, for a long time now I've been messing around in VMWare products. I cut my teeth on 3.5, worked with 4.1, and have kept up through 5.5 (just signed up for the 6.0 beta 2 actually as well). I've never had a job where virtualization infrastructure has been my core responsibility. It's usually...

    Hello! I have a Dell PE 2950 that I'd like to sell. Would MUCH prefer to keep this local (Seattle area) as shipping would be difficult. But if you're willing to pay for it, I will ship it. I however do not have a box big enough, nor correct packing material for a server of this size/weight...

    Hey everyone. I've been googling around and trying a few different things, but none quite do what I want, and I don't know javascripting at all, so trying to make one on my own isn't going to go very far. I can/do a lot with HTML, PHP and CSS, and that's about it. I do understand programming...

    MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM) for an ESX VM NAS

    Title is a little obscure, but I'm not sure what else to put... I recently combined my NAS and my 2nd ESX host into one machine (for specs, see ESX Host2 in sig please). Basically, put the PERC6i and drives into that machine, passed through the PERC to a VM and voila, done - seems to work peachy...

    nForce Professional 3600 MCP chipset for Opteron 24xx's - ESX PCI passthrough?

    It's late and I'm pretty tired... I'm very used to Intel where I can look up basically whatever I need right from ark.intel.com - it seems AMD doesn't have anything similar (at least that I can find). I'm trying to figure out if I have an issue with ESX, or if it's just a hardware limitation. my...

    2p rig: Xeon 5420 versus Opteron 2419 EE?
