Just one? Way not more offer?
We have multiple of these machines in stock.
Due to the stock being low though, we are limiting it to 1 per person.
Hey ian any low budget deals?
I'm looking forward to low budget deal too
@Ian_Dot_Tech Can't go wrong with them!
Possible 2x500 GB SSD instead of 1TB SSD?
Sure, open a ticket after ordering and we will get it changed.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Hey,
At this time no, but I would love to consider them in the future.
In the future, we will for sure explore this idea.
Any old piece of shit CPU with some RAM and a couple of disks hanging out the back of it and you'll be quids-in
It's going to idle anyway
Great, then.
Thought of used thin clients? Can be PXE booted (for rescue/recovery), and use under 20W of power while running (usually 11W). Just throw in an SSD/HDD, and you're set. They are a bit weak, I will admit, but are they good? Yeah, depending on your use case.
If you factor in the costs, and all, it can all be done for under $30/thin client unit. Gigabit is also possible with many thin clients (stick to HP and Dell). You can also solder up some wires to a relay and write a small CGI script (python, etc) to reboot them without the need for an expensive switched PDU; hook them up to a cheap high-amp PSU.
Rent them out at $10-15/month, and you will have ROI in just 1-3 months.
I have looked into thin clients before, and there are other options in my opinion which are better. We even purchased some to test. Anything under $200/device to purchase (used pricing) just didn't have the performance or drive space I wanted. Like I said I have looked into options. My team and I feel we have sorted a good idea for cheap dedicated. At this time its not an option for us to do but I would love to make it a project for 2022 at some point.
In the meantime, this E3 offer I believe is a good price for the money. Please stay tuned with my posts as I hope in 2022 we can offer this!
Thanks for taking the time to go over the thin client idea though.
@Ian_Dot_Tech what DC you use? Do you still offer colo?
I think they use the old Incero DC
Carrier-1
https://www.carrier-1.com/photo-gallery#video and we do offer colocation (when we have stock). Feel free to message we can see how we can help.
Correct, Incero didn't own the datacenter, they used Carrier-1 and now Hivelocity leases their private cage from within Carrier-1.
I'd like to thank everyone so far who has ordered. Our team is working hard to provision all orders.
Here it is Thanksgiving 🦃 so I take the opportunity, as a Level One customer, to say "Thank-you!" to Ian and Amit for all the hard work they do keeping everything at Level One running so smoothly.
@Ian_Dot_Tech What a great pleasure it is to work with a provider like you! Thank you so much! 💖
Thanks for this awesome review, our team does its best to ensure customer satisfaction.
I hope you had a good thanks giving and happy holidays to come!
What @Not_Oles says x2.
@Ian_Dot_Tech during checkout original price is showing i.e. $64.99 and is it possible to get licensed window server 2019 standard installed

We can install Windows Server 2019, however, you will need to provide the license.
Appreciate the support
Thanks I swooped in on this deal when I saw 2x500 GB SSD was possible.
