Server Status 1.17 OLD

Ebay has some Opteron G34 6380's for $100~ including shipping, they take a good week or two to arrive tho. I wish I had one a bit sooner, its been locking up partially due to running some demanding stuff for work that and systemd seems to like causing a CPU HARD LOCKUP every time it attempts to restart/reload itself. which really bugs me. HOW EVEN. I posted a WTB ad to kijiji like 3 minutes ago before I saw this post. heh. Hopefully get something a bit quicker and cheaper? Most of the ebay results from the US are sent via the Global Shipping Program which is dog slow, or like charge $30+ for shipping.

There are cheaper chips, but mostly from china (where I got both of mine from) and quality is suspect. I've heard tell that a lot of the cheap server hw on ebay from china is salvage from garbage/recylce shipments. And it shows. ugh.

Well if it's $100 for the chip and $40 for two-day shipping, that's within the range of what we're happy to pay for. So you don't need to spend too long looking for the absolute best deal...

None of the options seem to provide that kind of speedy shipping. all like 7-14+ days if from the us. many are using the ebay global shipping program which is notoriously slow.

Probably go with this one: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/AMD-Opteron-6380-OS6380WKTGGHK-2-5GHz-16-Core-16MB-L2-L3-Socket-G34-Server-CPU/173500861455?epid=131704888&hash=item2865750c0f:g:JVEAAOSwv3lbhXqH since its a cheaper option. just wanted something a bit quicker to help with a work project thats likely ending in a few days.

Well let us know the final total so we can split costs.

Awesome! How do you want to get the money?

[Thorin]

Probably easiest if we just send sixty bucks each.  I plan to just send an etransfer, I'll PM you, Tom, to double-check the email address I should send it to.
