None of that garbage. Try an ML350G6 or Dell T*10
>>55970912
How cheap do you need?
What are you trying to do?
Does it have to be new?

I can guarantee he can't afford anything new.

^kept calling this spam, just replace the dashes
I can go up to 600$ not counting GPU
Folding@home project
Any age, just not extremely old, or inefficient, something that's decent enough to fit the gpu in, thus allowing me to add more as I go, slowly adding one rack by annother

Tower systems with the rack mount kit, if you have a rack. Those are your best bet. They usually come out of the box with the ability to have graphics accelerators installed whereas with rack mounted units you typically need to buy supporting kits.
Dell T*10 (dual socket starts at the T410) and up or HP ML350 G6 and up. Don't spend more than 300 on a T*10 or a HP G6.

Price to performance
I'm not going to spend 2000$ on new hardware when I can spend 500$ and get the same or even more...
I know the efficiency in watts is less but this is fine

get dell r710 for ~140 USD
>>55971507
If you don't need rack mount, look at a Dell PE T610, though it can rack as well.
I tend to stay away from HP anymore, as they get real dickish on updates without service contracts.

I'd rather deal with finding my SPPs from other sources than the absolute SHIT documentation for Dell. I can't even get part numbers for shit from Dell which is a pain in the ass because they list nothing on their website for anything but the current and last generation equipment.

I've never had any problems with them, but whatever works for you.
>>55972362
You can't not have a problem with it, it's a fact that the Dell documentation sucks compared to HP.

Just deployed 6 racks of 730XD's, and have been deploying PE's sense the 2600's. I've never had an issue with documentation, drivers, or firmware.
Not sure what to tell you...

Oh, so these things were bought new and came with service contracts. Yea, that's why. For a home user I'd say don't buy, just like I say don't buy G8+ HPs if you can avoid it.
