anyone interested in a great deal on a DELL R630 server? ServerMonkey has new (open-box) servers with 128 GB RAM, dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 6C/12T CPUs, iDRAC Enterprise license, redundant 750W power supplies, 10k 300GB drive, 10 2.5" drive bays, etc, for only $1500 USD, which is a steal...
I just priced out a similarly configured R630 on dell.com and it comes out at over $17,000 USD. now, the one from dell.com has two v4 CPUs versus v3 xeon's, and the drive is 15K rpm instead of 10K rpm, but still. Everything else is pretty much identical.
