i just got one. what do you guys think?
Comments
Kill this beast, save some trees.
Was thinking of getting one myself. I think it's a great deal!
I have one, I wouldn't get another. Have had to swap the chassis atleast 2 times.
Going to go for the E3s or E5-2620s soon.
Go for the E5's. Performance
I doubt they're that bad...seriously.
Wow, then they're pretty crap if they did :P
It's not a bad deal... one of these days I'll run a dual L5420 with 16 GB of RAM and 2 x 1 TB (or 4 x 1 TB) for $65 - $85...
And I'd probably get one if you did :P
i'm down for anything under $50 for dedis pretty much. the only one i have >$50 is dacentec at $60, but they're rent-to-own
yeah, because they then go down to $40/mo after 12 months. Got 1 of those for a client (did have 2 but cancelled it).
Bought one of these guys, not sure what to do with it.
@BlueVM I agree 100%, it will happen eventually, just a matter of when.
Someone knows if these ones have a kind of KVM/IPMI for remote administration?
@fly
@Jacob
Also, are these CPUs right? http://ark.intel.com/products/33082/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5440-12M-Cache-2_83-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB
i dont think they have ipmi, but kvm is available for free if you ask for it i think (only as long as it takes to fix your shiz obviously)
@yomero Datashack E5420/E5440 are tower servers, so IPMI/iLO would not be possible.
I'm sure if you ship a KVM they would not have a problem with that, for a additional cost ofc.
Thanks @Jacob
Well, I have an of these Opteron, and it has iLO. Probably all their Opterons are HP Blades with iLO?
I am interested in this, just for the pleasure of install the OS myself.
I wonder what kind of hardware is used for the "remote reboot" feature.
@fly I am not sure of that hehe.
@yomero they told me so in a ticket when i asked.
They advertise this but it's not offered.
That's bad =/
Well, thanks, probably I will resist this offer hehe
@yomero
I think the Xeon 5420/5440 are Dell servers with Drac but due to a vulnerability
Drac was disabled.. that's what they said when I inquired about these servers a while back.
According to datashack the Intel Xeon Processor E5440 have 8 physical cores, but according to Intel specification it's only 4 - misleading information by datashack.
Intel info:

It's Dual, 4+4 = 8.
thank you for pointing out, as don't state on the Intel website.
That's good. People who do that end up cancelling it
If you are going to do that deal, I am going to take one
the CPU is a quad core but the motherboard takes two of those physical CPU's hence the system has eight cores.. It's not mention on Intel's website cause they did not manufacture the motherboard just the CPU.
yes it's not stated on the intel website because datashack has 2 of those CPU's in their configuration.
paypal telling me my account was charged, i get -nothing- from datashack
@fly It takes two business days for setup
heh. turns out mine was already set up, just the emails never reached my inbox for some reason. installing stuff now, and compiling ports are mad fast.
@fly Was your order at 8:30am?
My order was 6 hours before that and mine has not been set up.
I added it to my existing account. Did you do the same?
mine was right before I made OP
