I have no idea what this does, but it looks so cool I feel like I need it. Any ideas what I can do with this?

One PCI-E slot renders this unsuitable for me unfortunately but otherwise these are excellent! Hopefully another ML10 deal will come along too :smile:

I have one with an i3 3240 and 16gb ram just upgraded but I am hoping for a ts140 I need a xeon cpu for esxi passthrough xeon chips for the gen8 are too expensive excellent machines though

They sell them with the cpu in now my temps are fine. I bought a pc with i3 3240, 8gb ram, 1tb hard drive and Windows 7 license for £50 on Gumtree then swapped the cpu, took half ram and swapped 1tb with a 500gb and sold it for £50 so nice free upgrade except couple pound petrol. Look around facebook computer groups for 10600e ram for the gen 8 I got 2x 8gb sticks for £20. Didn't know the i5 2390t did vt-d excellent thanks I will be getting that next.

Just read that and for a second thought if it was in Russian?

Upgraded with a 1220L and 16GB RAM, great machine ... Use it as a vCenter server in a home lab, an ML10 might have been a more cost effective purchase though!

How much for Xeons? ..and I didnt think i3-3240 was compatible (as not ECC ) Might be a good upgrade if it is ..... altho it does look like its over the thermal budget too

The 3240 works with ECC, I think Intel ARK is wrong.Source

Thanks OP. A very timely reminder. Any suggestions for best bet for drives?

Ive purchased and installed an i5 2390t. Not a bad chip, fair step up on the celeron and hyperthreading and vtx etc also. if you're quick there's one left online at Cex for £45 plus 2.50 postage.
That along with an extra 8gb stick and ordered a fdd to sata power to run a 5th drive in the odd makes this a cracking cheap esx box.
Oh and a 2gb micro sd for the ESXi installation.

install xpenology and have a fully featured professional NAS. File storage, VPN, personal cloud, video server (dlna/plex), security cameras, and lots more.

Opening post
All of the details are pretty well documented on this, this is just a bump to let people know it has been extended again and is in stock.
