>>57198488
Supermicro is a good brand that sells workstation/server equipment and chassis's.

Chenbro is also worth mentioning and have a good lineup of workstation cases, see >>57198207

>>57198207
That's not a workstation.

>>57198458
sure, but those usually don't support SGPIO or have fan failure/overheat detection like something on a supermicro workstation.

although yeah for most people that's probably enough.

>>57198555
hot swap drives aren't really a feature that workstations have, since it's not useful.

>>57198538
why not? it's literally advertised as a workstation/server case from chenbro.

Personally I love hot swap bays even if it's not on a server. If you have a raid card or HBA they instantly become your best friend.

Everything about them is convenient and having drive/fan/overheat failure detection is nice having alongside SGPIO led signals.

The PSU problem was with Z420 (we have Z620 ad well). We needed to put in a new GPU but the power supply didn't have enough juice (600w). We thought we could just get a new PSU but nope...

But the Z620 has the same proprietary problems (psu is 800w though I believe).

These guys spent $3500+ per machine just for the quadro cards even though we don't even fucking need anything close to that.

>>57198938
Whoever does it wouldn't even need to bother with manufacturing because Lian-Li contracts their manufacturing out and their build quality is great. The Caselabs guys might be willing to work with you too if you want something even more unkillable.

>>57198931
I think the Z420 supports the same 225W power draw for the PCI-E slots as the Z620. I think the Z820 supports more. To be fair, there's almost no pro graphics cards that require more than 2 6 pin PCI-E. The only one I can think of is the W9100. You could have a couple fairly high end graphics cards in one, but I don't think that's a popular configuration due to the limited amount of expansion slots in the first place.

What are you doing with those machines?

Live TV production but the software is based on a really old OpenGL. The shit they make on it does not warrant powerful quadro cards.

They wanted to turn one of the machines into a VR testing machine. So they bought a 1080 without even checking with me.

Also I currently have Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and a Microsoft Hololens sitting in my office collecting dust. I shit you not. They bought the vive and Oculus on release and we haven't even set them up.

P.s. hololens is gimmicky garbage. My arms hurt after a while just moving windows and shit around and it would crash (auto reboot) every 15 mins.

>>57198998
These machines are bought by production companies and used for video, CG, and photographic work. But they have powerful CPUs and GPUs in them that will play video games just fine. And they surely get used for that in down time or off the clock. And HP knows that and even talks about it sometimes in marketing presentations.

On the second hand market these machines are very popular for turning into budget gaming PC's. You take that z620 and drop a GTX 1070 in it and you've got a very powerful "rig", as they call it.

Companies like CNN, weather channel etc contract us to make stuff for them. Think news tickers, those giant ass interactive graphics, etc.

We also take random odd jobs from medical companies (think detailed and accurate medical animations for sugery) and defense contractors for special software (what I primarily work on).

>>57198616
>Impossible to upgrade a lot of the components.

You can upgrade it to the more powerful proprietary PSU provided by hp :^)

But anyway, no need. It's got a 800w PSU with 18 amps provided to the PCI-E connector. That's plenty.

Other things like CPU, RAM, HDD/SDD upgrade like normal.

>>57199100
See >>57198931

>>57199094
That's interesting. What special software are you producing for defense contractors? Ballistics stuff?

RAM will be $50. SSD $50. GPU $200 (or less). $700 total will build a very higher performing platform. I'd challenge anybody to build a "gaming PC" for that money and build it with parts of the same quality.

I wish (though I worked on that before I left my previous company). It's software for planning and responding to scenarios. It's being used by a very important and big government agency and two big defense contractors.

I wrote it almost entirely myself in javascript (it's a webapp). I've never been so proud and ashamed of my code base... it's literally the first real project I got to lead.

The requirements changed like every other week and I'd have to shoehorn in shit in random places cause they wanted a prototype of a feature in less than a week.

So we have this basterized child that I'm not allowed to rewrite and I deploy a new version every week in the form of a virtual machine.

I am currently trying to learn how to automate making the vm (and looking at docker).

>>57199313
Not necessary since a GTX 1080 will work if you adapter off one of the other power cables. But it might have been a problem before this generation of GPUs. Although there may be a need for workstation features like double precision, so maybe not after all.

Ha, I wish I could make it a SaaS. It would make deployment a lot easier.

The data they put in the software is top secret (or higher) so it needs to be behind some serious firewalls or close circuit (I don't know the details). Basically, it can't use the internet.

Also, they are never allowed to send me back logs or remote anything so debugging is a fucking Bitch. The only way to properly debug is them making a dummy scenario (no copy paste, mist recreate entirely from scratch on a nonclasified computer) with the same problem as the real one then them sending it to me.

I think we eventually would make a SaaS for normal agencies and companies since it can apply to a lot of industries. But that's very far into the future.

Slowly trying to make the product more modular though :)

Shit code is shit code regardless the cpu you use, and it specially apply to games.

>All major browsers today run like shit on old CPU's, youtube barely runs.
My Q9550 run 1080p perfectly at 25% use on all cores with a gtx 260, and that's a 8 year old gpu, bet with a newer low end card the cpu usage would be lower. Hell with it, the potato in my office that's a sempron 140 with a 6150SE (yep, that nforce430) can play up to 360p without stuttering, and that thing is way less strong than late c2d or c2q.

>You heard of the current Windows 10 background bloat that you can't turn off and have to manually stop process every time you reboot. Apparently it's fine on midrange current cpu's but older cpu's struggle and can't run properly because of how bloated W10 background operations have gotten

for games no, if you just need video output then yes

Also, that xeon is a nehalem, basically a i7 940 with ECC support, so no core2.

I agree, the granite texture doesn't work on that case, but really only due to the color. The keyboard and mouse looks great though.

>>57198132
This was really smart. They called it "Onyx" because "onyx" means black, and the box is black. Like, they had a black box that they needed to name, and instead of just calling it "Black" or "Blackie" they called it "Onyx". Or they came up with the name "Onyx" which they thought was cool because it has a couple of infrequently used letters in it, and sounds cool, and then they realized, "Hey, Jeff, did you know that this word apparently means 'black'? Hows about we make the case black, then?" Either way, really a genius idea. And Vanessa in marketing who came up with the idea for a purple stripe on the side (*not* in the middle) really never got any credit for her input since she went on maternity leave right before the product launched.

No, at the moment its collecting dust, i bought it out of interest for old systems. Also i want to get two c8900s for it.
These systems are too old to be used for something productive today. Raspis and less older xeons are much more suited if you want to serve webservices/work on it. Won't hold you back on throwing anything at it for the sake of curiosity but mind the speed and powerbill.
Would be interesting to try out HP-UX on it for a change. Might try minecraft on it for the absurdity.

well, someone could justify spending $50,000 on them for CAD work and the last of them smoked contemporary opterons at double the clock frequency so I think that's good enough for whatever pleb jobs I'd throw at it, no stranger to mothballed shit and not very impatient, plus power is cheap so even running one 24/7 would probably amount to practically fuck all unless I'm hitting max load on it

>>57213648
>Multimedia included games.
But it is not limited to them, "multimedia" is a very broad subject, hence the name "multimedia".

You seem to be nitpicking for the sake of it, systems like these were commonly used in game development, but that doesn't really mean they're made to play them any more than an EditDroid was made to watch Star Wars, the "multimedia" part of the Indy is more in relation to its video/audio production-oriented feature set, it was not built as a games machine, nobody bought it as one, and in general they were very 2D-oriented systems anyway, their only 3D graphics option was the rather anemic XZ board set that couldn't even outrun the CPU on later models.

This is fun. Install nekoware and enlarge your anus to fit some IRIX-isms. The thing supports OpenGL 1.0 as well as IRISGL if you want to try that out. And unlike other low-end SGIs, you can use textures on the O2 without performance going to shit. Also, if you have an AV1/2 card, you will have access to some dank GL extensions for video.

Just got this bad boy mint from the technically defunct manufacturer. This, the Addtronics ET7890A, is the close relative of the ET7896A, which saw a long OEM run with Supermicro, who branded it as the SC750. Features of the less economical, original case are a removable motherboard tray and drive rails, in 19 goddamn 98, might I add. It was featured in the premiere issue (September 1998) of MaximumPC, as part of "DREAM MACHINE '98".

>>57224557
So you got them for free?

What do you do/who do you work for that would do cool shit like that?

>>57224627
I do software development and testing. They sold them off to us at a discount price of $500 or so.

I'm getting several of these from work due to DC consolidation.

>>57201059
It's called a datacenter.

Virtualizing OS X probably.

Then why aren't you running SSDs and as much cheap 8GB 10600R as you can fit?

>>57224683
Sell them.

>>57224807
SSDs have limited write capacity. With RAID the drives have speeds that rival SSDs. For RAM I have 16 4GB sticks.

>>57224847
4GB DIMMs are literally worthless. It will take years for you wear out an SSD. There's no excuse for running power hungry and still slow enterprise drives. If you're really that worried about endurance, buy enterprise SSDs.

How can I into non-consumerism, /g/?

Cooltek make some nice plain stuff.

>>57224997
That's actually Jonsbo; Cooltek is their European rebrand. Also, that case looks hideous.

>>57198031

Ok family

sick new esx cluster bro

i mean what are you doing with them?

>>57199431

There are safe ways to handle secrets so they're not in your log logs like environment variables;
or entire projects like 'Vault' to handle secrets. Chef / Puppet / Ansible also handle secrets but that could be too much (sounds like you could benefit from that too though if setting up another environment is that much of a bitch)

>>57224168
>not 15k SAS
dun goofed son

>>57224682
Fuck me.

>>57224076
black handle unfortunately. Im in Australia which is problematic. If you really wanted to pay shipping ill just give you one because they are just taking up space.

>>57225594
> black handle
Fuck me.

Why do they do that shit?

Anyways, how much is shipping, and what are the specs?

4GB 1066MHz DDR3
Nvidia Quadro FX 1800
625W 80 plus bronze PSU

The thing weigh like 14kg though. It might be cheaper to find one in your home country depending on where you are. I can't send through HDDs because they are ex education machines and i said i would not pass one the HDDs in any capacity when i took them.

I know you can separate it, but they see still not allowed to send me anything back (this counts for any data generated from classified computers regardless of the contents).

I've been looking at configuration management tools, but they wouldn't be helpful at this stage. The way they work is weird since different secret projects data cannot be stored in the same database. So, anytime they wanna make a new project/scenario... they just copy a new VM. Basically, they run the entire app locally or on a laptop and everyone relevant to the task connects to it. No data leakage etc. I also don't know the security standards to store this kind of important data next to each other.

I can take their setup into account, but they can't share the details with me. Having everything self contained makes it easier (our app depends on a few offline tools like a map tile server that runs on OpenStreetMap data).

The thing I wanna focus on the most is continous deployment. If I can get our entire product to build into a docker image, it would save so much time. Currently, I manually make the virtual machines in VirtualBox and Debian. I wrote some scripts to take care of most of the work but I'd have hands off and great time savings with a continous setup.

>>57225807
Oh, ok.

The ones here are hovering around 200 dollars though.

Are you sure it would cost more than 150$ to ship it?

>>57225813

Fuck off.

Stop it.

>>57226131
those calcs are for the states, looks like economy sea is cheapest but who knows what the wait will be with packaging as i can't just send a system to the other side of the world without padding.

Im really busy till mid next November after which i will be done with uni for the year. After that i can figure out all the shipping details
