Hi guys,

As per title I am looking to buy a second-hand Xeon Server with at least 32GB RAM with NVMe support, a 26?? v3 Xeon CPU or similar/better.

Regarding pricing, I have no idea what the current going-rates are so apologies for not listing one, if anyone can suggest a price, much appreciated.

Thanks all,
Phill

Edit: No longer need NVMe support. This is for a CAD/Plex/General purpose Server

You're looking at not a small amount of cash - dual v3/v4 boards go for around $1k on their own. NVMe support is likely just going to be via the many PCIe slots.

Does it have to be NVMe bootable? If not you could go back 2-3 generations and still find that amount of RAM. Maybe try giving Mikipro a call? I just checked their website and they have this for $1k:

I've got one of these -

HUANANZHI X99 TF X99 Motherboard Intel with XEON E5 2678 V3 MOS FAN DDR3 DDR4 RECC memory combo kit set NVME SATA 3.0 USB3.0 ATX|Motherboards| - AliExpress

With 64GB DDR3 if you're looking to build something.

Otherwise NVME support is hard to fine on these v3/v4 generation Xeons. The NVME kits that HP sell for their G9 era servers actually plug into the PCIE slot - and I'm fairly sure the Dell option is similar.
