Super Micro H8DGT-HIBQF

[ReUnitePangea]

I have a chance to pick up one of these for around $300 shipped but I cant seem to find any reviews, it dosent seem to be too popular. Can anyone shed some light as to why? Is that price good/normal. Most 2p motherboards I see starting in the low $400's.

If you actually look at a picture of it, you'll see why. It's for a 2U 4 node system.

Like said above its for a 2U chassis. So run it straight of your desk or buy a special and probably expensive chassis.

You cannot use a regular power supply with it.

Glad I asked thanks guys, not having any experience with this I just assumed a lot of things, the case issue wouldn't be a problem but the PSU issue is a dealbreaker, I have a much better idea of what Im looking for now, thanks.
