I needed and Onyx2 for work, and got eight

Nodeboards are dual 300MHz, all graphics are IR2E mostly with DG5-GVO, and I'm looking at 4 DIVO's also. It looks like everything works, except for some physical damage (crushed MSC, some heatsinks fallen off a GE16-4). Nodeboards and RM's have been concentrated in four systems.

Sample 'hinv' here

I have no intention of keeping all these unneeded systems around, so I'll probably try to unload bits and systems sometime soon.









There were also two O2's included, I guess you can imagine what the skins looked like

Holy toledo!

Looks like you have a lot of spare parts(hint: IO6G) which the community can use. Excellent. I'll let you sort out the machines. Well, you have plenty of CPU's to continue your GCC build farm

I am tempted to buy an Onyx2 or IO6G from you for future nekoware builds.

Nice catch, Jan-Jaap!

wow, that flat rackmount looks nice

I don't think so.

Woah!
Now if you'd have a spare/empty metal carcass (with midplane), I'd certainly be interested... Hehe.

If it costs more than a fuel, then it is expensive .

Compared to a Tezro it's still a bargain

Shipping costs, although it's not as expensive as I would have thought.
Freight from Berlin (Germany) to The Netherlands was 165€ total (for eight systems).

would you happen to have an extra DG5-8 (the 8 channel output for IR2E) laying about?

I sure could use an Onyx2 when the new semester starts. An Onyx2 for Back to School shopping, wouldn't that be a good deal?

Like somebody at AMD said about a decade ago: Benchmarking is like sex. Everybody brags about it, everybody loves doing it and nobody can agree on performance.

Final arrangement. Running nicely, even if they soon go into fastfan mode (temperature is 30c outside and we don't have airco)

Very nice! I've probably got a few of the Onyx2 style filler panels that cover the air plenum at the top of each module if you're interested. I used a duct system on the fan exhaust of my Onyx2 that helped quite a bit - it wasn't hard <or expensive> to set up if you have somewhere easily accessible to run the exhaust duct to.
