edit2: TX46 is $1687.50 at newegg =) and you can find some other reviews at newegg here


There is a bunch of tyan barebones servers really cheap at Geeks.com.

E.g. GT20 dual xeon for 70, GT20 opteron for 80, quad opteron TX46 for 170. Same code for all "TYAN"

Sorry I can't write up better right now.

Note that these are rather old DDR 333/400 systems. If you could find cheap CPU's to go with these I guess I could see the point, however I see for example the cheapest 800-series opteron to go for $700 on Newegg...

Prices show $397.99 and $699.99 for me. Anyone seeing the low price?

just checked to make sure it works. You must click checkout, then log in or create an account. Then enter "TYAN" as the "SECRET SAVINGS CODE". After that it shows 69.99 for that first linked on.

Shipping for me for one is 23.00.

 

B5350G20S2H-LC--Tyan Transport GT20 Dual Xeon Based 1U Barebones Server 1 $69.99 $69.99

Subtotal: $69.99
Sales Tax: $0.00
Shipping: $23.00
Grand Total: $92.99


IMO, very good deal for such a system. Yes they're all a bit dated. But that quad socket AMD was the bees-knees not so long ago, for 170 that's a steal!

I mean you can't even get rack mounted cases + PSUs for this price.

worked with checkout and coupon code thanks op GREEN

this proc work with the server?

I just bought the heatsinks they are using on the 1U deal for $68 shipped for my 1U case so this is one nice deal.

If buying don't forget the 1.5% FW CashBack. Not much, but a buck's a buck. There's also 3% from Live CashBack if you want to go through them.

Uses registered memory which is still a bit pricey, even for old DDR.

Any one needing Reg ECC I have a contact out in California that has a bushel basket of NEW Corsair Winbond ECC Reg CH-5 memroy . About $25-30 each depending on lot size. Depending on what you are doing the old Opteron Series 1 are as fast or faster than any of the shiny new stuff, I have a lot more confidence in Lawrence Berkeley and Los Alamos National Labs test results than I do Anadtech Tom's Hexus Legit Reviews or any of the other amateurs. NERSC 1 Opty dual core > 1 Intel quadcore when page files exceed 8k. Jack Dongarra picked this for best paper at the IEEE meeting three months ago. In for 1 TX46 I was wondering what I was going to do with 4 8xx's I had laying around.

I have a few 4U and 5U dual opteron servers that I have been needing to transplant into 1U or 2U form factors. These will do the trick perfectly and were cheaper than just buying replacement cases! I can then sell off the remaining parts on fleaBay.

in for one of the 1U p4's just what i needed, as my Surplus_nospace_Computers.com barebones was DOA and i fought to get refund (dont ever buy from SurplusCon-puters!)

damnit i forgot FatCash!

just received my tyan GT20 B5151 server ($79 after code) this morning.

highly impressed with the product delivered, after my horrorible experience with Surplus "Con"-puters it was nice to see the actual retail packaging of a still sealed in plastic 1u. everything looks brand new, with original tyan box and original molded fit foam inside.

for the price i didnt expect many extras, but they included the full accessory kit, (cables, screws, rack ears, manuals, support media) a rail kit, and a brand new all copper 1U coolermaster boxed heatsink, and as advertised the 4 front drive trays.

very happy, excellent deal. thanks OP!

Google these servers. The reviews weren't flattering for SOME of them. Random crashes, hanging, etc.
