Hi team,

I’m consolidating some of my gear my and have two Microserver Gen 8s up for grabs. One is available now, and the other will be avialable in a few weeks once everything arrives for my new rig (the flatmates won’t be happy if Plex disappears).

These are both the base model G1610T w/2GB RAM versions. Easily upgradable to the Xeons for pretty cheap - plenty of info around. BIOS/ILO all up to date at last check.

I have the boxes/packaging for these so happy to ship.

These will be diskless however I’ll leave the extra SATA cable & power attachment in them for the SSDs I have in there.

I bought these brand new in box last year as ‘old stock’ and only set them up earlier this year, so the run time on them is next to nothing.

Looking for $380 each, located in Epsom/Three Kings.

Yep, easy as upgrade. There's 2x slots on the motherboard, only one filled.

Really easy to update the CPU also - I used the Intel Xeon E3-1230 v2 in my Microserver along with 16gb of ram and now it is a powerhouse.

I'd be interested in one if Yoban doesn't want both.

Thats is good to know...now to see if I can source them. What OS are you running on yours?

I sourced the CPU from Ebay - was $190NZ when I bought it however see now you can get it for around $120 delivered. I'm running Unraid (https://unraid.net/) on my Microserver with 16gb of ram, 1tb NVME Cache drive, 3x 3tb drives and 1x 4tb Parity drive.

Runs very well as a Plex server, web server (hosting a few VM's and docker containers) etc.

I had a pair of E3-1265L V2s on the way for these (~$110 USD each) but they just... never showed up. Managed to get a refund on that, though.

I've been running Ubuntu on both of these with the drives in a ZFS array.
