$58 plus sh. - SUPERMICRO A1SRM-LN7F-CS045 - ATOM board with 7 Gigabit LAN, IPMI, pci-e 2.0 x4 in x8 slot etc

[mariushm]

Maybe someone is interested in these :  removed ebay link, didn't realize it's against rules... but if you're still interested after reading the edit in orange below, you can find link in the servethehome forum link 

 

Specifications below ...  

My thoughts .. has 4 DDR3 slots with DDR3 ECC or non ECC , has IPMI, could be great for a pfSense / router machine, as a small dedicated server  

Could also work as a NAS, 6 sata ports may be plenty for a small NAS

Could even work with a dedicated video card (only 4 lanes and pci-e 2.0 in a pci-e x8 slot but that could be enough) and maybe a USB sound card, as an older games machine  

Has a bunch of relays on it that can be used to disable or enable ethernet ports ... even if you don't ever use functionality for anything, the price seems nice to me. 

 

Supermicro site says there's a 12v DC In version - I don't know if it's the molex (ide style connector) on the board or if that's option for powering sata drives  

 

Downsides :  Note no onboard sound, but usb sound cards are cheap.    Only 4 USB 2.0 ports on the back and a header and a usb type A on board (for usb sticks, booting etc). No USB 3.0 headers. 

 

EDIT :   Saw this deal on servethehome forum,  and there's a note in the thread that these Atom processors may be affected by a hardware bug which can be solved by adding a resistor (or several) on the back of the motherboard. basically without the fix, after a lot of hours of usage, after a restart the CPU could be bricked and unfixable... resistor fixes it.

The guidelines thingy for hot deals

[mariushm]

Honestly didn't know that rule.  It's not like I'm the eBay seller, and it's not just one item, it's multiple available. 

 

Moderators feel free to delete the thread, maybe it's best cause people won't be bothered to mod the board with resistors anyway.

You are a genuine help to me and multiple people and have a level of knowledge I assuradly dont have.  I have no doubt you are just trying to help folks on a sweet deal
