    FS big VPS server: 72gb ram, 24x 1tb RE's, BBU raid, etc

    Hi,

    I've got 2 servers at the icecolo.com facility in the UK that I am looking to sell. They are currently up and running, if you're interested in potentially buying I can give you a login and you can try out the servers.

    Comes with:

    Dual Xeon E5506 CPU's
    72gb DDR3 ECC Ram
    24x 1tb western digital raid edition hard drives
    highpoint 24 port raid controller with battery backup unit and upgraded to 2gb cache memory
    supermicro 24 bay case with dual redundant power supplies
    supermicro dual socket motherboard with ipmi
    additional dual port gbit intel pcie addon card

    Cost to build this new is $9000 including VAT. Looking for $7500 (or equivalent in GBP) in cash, or $7500 + paypal fees if paypal. I have two of these. If you want both, I can do $14000 for both.

    Benefits are:

    Fully assembled. Building this thing was a PIA.

    Tested: Everything is working.

    Guaranteed: If there are any problems, I will gladly replace anything.

    Try before you buy: Everything is already colocated at icecolo.com, feel free to test it out.

    Conveniently located: Already in the UK. Some of these parts are hard to find there.

    Already colocated: If you want to colo this at icecolo, the server is already there!

    Warranty: All drives are still under warranty as this server is less than 1 year old.

    If you want to know part numbers on any of the above, please let me know and I'd be glad to look it up.

    Any feedback would be appreciated as well.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    How many U does this use?
    3.5inch SATA drives? Speed?
    How many AMPs do these pull?

    Regards,

    Hi,

    It uses 4u of space. It pulls about 2.5a at 230v. All are 3.5" 7200rpm western digital raid edition 3 hard drives. 24 of them.

    Would be glad to give you a login to test them out if you're interested.

    In order to save money, we are no longer going to be colocated in the UK, as we are consolidating all of our servers in the US, whereas before we had been located in both the US and the UK. So any servers in the UK either have to be shipped to the US, kept in storage in the UK, or sold. We've decided to ship over all of our smaller / cheaper 1u servers to the US, and sell these monster servers in the UK. We may also be selling a dell 6248 switch as well.

    Because of VAT and the fact that server parts are generally more expensive and harder to get in the UK (even before taking VAT into consideration), it makes more sense to sell our beefiest / most expensive / heaviest servers in the UK rather than ship them to the US. If we ended up selling them in the US, the lack of VAT alone would make them about 20% less valuable, on top of taking the expensive and risky trek across the ocean.

    Hi, this may be below what you'd be willing to accept but I can offer $6500 for one of them.
