What's the best Supermicro barebones under $150?

[panther420]

Looking for a Supermicro barebones for a NAS running FreeNAS. I'd like at least 4 drive bays and I'd like everything but the CPU and RAM included, as well as a PCIe slot for a x8 10G NIC, but otherwise I'd just like whatever one is the best value. The X8SIL-F looks decent, but I think I can get a better deal than the one I was looking at ($120 including shipping).

 

An eBay link to a listing would be greatly appreciated. And shipping needs to be included in the price because those servers are heavy and shipping is expensive (zip is 60658 in the US if you'd like to calculate). Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you after a barebones, or a motehrboard? The X8SIL-F is just a motherboard. 

Have you had a look at the Dell PowerEdge T110's? They're LGA1156 - one like this barebones: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Dell-PowerEdge-T110-II-Tower-Server-Barebone-System/222674469168

Those don't look too bad, but I'd like something rackmountable if possible. Also does the included raid card support IT mode? I forgot to mention that in my previous post, since all the drives need to show up on their own in order for ZFS to work optimally.

 

Also what I meant by the X8SIL-F was any barebones including that board. As far as I know supermicro doesn't have model numbers for barebones.

I don't know how you're going to find a barebones LGA1156 rackmount with 4 x 3.5" hdd caddies for $150, thats quite specific. 

In the Dell lineup you'd be looking at either an R210 or an R310 but it can be quite difficult to find them with the 3.5" caddies. 

LGA1156 was a very short run in comparison to the older LGA1366 and newer LGA2011 platforms as far as server hardware. 

 

You could get that Supermicro motherboard, then get a rackmount chassis like a Rosewill R4000: https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Rackmount-Computer-Pre-Installed-RSV-R4000/dp/B01F7RJPHO
