Worth a lookReviewer notes
2x 18-core Gold 6150 CPUs (36 cores total), 64GB RAM, H730P RAID controller, and 8 drive trays for $642 vs $1485 typical sold price. Seller claims professional testing and 30-day returns. A genuine 57% discount on a capable dual-socket platform.
Good for: Proxmox or ESXi labs needing dense multi-core virtualization, TrueNAS storage builds, or any homelabber willing to verify POST and specs match listing photos before final payment.
Check: Description cuts off mid-sentence at power supply; confirm dual PSUs are actually included and that drive trays are empty (no drives priced in). Verify it posts and CPU/RAM count on boot before accepting the deal.
