I just bought this for $450, did I do good? >Intel S2600CP2J

No.

>>57499343
Should have gotten a thinkpad

>>57499343
absolutely not.

>>57499343
>no pci-e

>>57499392
Those are all PCI-E, kid.

>>57499343

>>57499343

Why not?

>>57499428
Play CS 1.6.

Seriously though, I'm gonna use it as a workstation for doing photogrammetry and 3D modeling and for VMs.

>narrow ilm

yeah you fucked up

>>57499456
Just memeing brah, enjoy it.

>>57499404
Hmm, I saw the x16 now

>>57499478
any regular pc would have been better than that shit. why didnt you do any research before you purchased it?

>>57499456
The 2670s are worth about 50-60 a piece, the 64GB DDR3 I'm guessing are 4GB 10600R (or worse 8500R) DIMMs which are just absolutely worthless these days, maybe 30 bucks for the whole lot of 16, and the board is worth about 150-175 bucks. You overpaid by about 100 dollars, factoring in shipping. Also that board kind of sucks. PCI-E 3.0 is broken and it's EEB, not E-ATX or anything common.

>>57499478
This is going to make a shit workstation and you can buy Z420s and the contemporary equivalent Precisions for about 450 with good specs.

>The 2670s are worth about 50-60 a piece

Cheapest I could find on Ebay with shipping to my country was $100 a piece

>the 64GB DDR3 I'm guessing are 4GB 10600R
It's 8x 8Gb of PC3- 12800R

>the board is worth about 150-175 bucks

The board is like $250 on ebay

>PCI-E 3.0 is broken and it's EEB, not E-ATX or anything common.

I plan on running it in an open air config, and I don't need PCI-E 3.0

>>57499522
no it wouldn't

>>57499625
yes, it would.

buyer's remorse

>>57499343
no

Does anyone know why the price dropped so suddenly for the E5-2670s?

>>57499700
jews

>>57499700
companies liquidating old hardware

DELETE YOUR LIES AND APOLOGIZE

>>57499720
ok sorry sir

>>57499522
I have some requirements:

>32GB ram or more with the possibility to upgrade to 64GB or more in the future
>ECC support
>PCIE 2.0 x8
>As many threads as possible
>Less than $500

>>57499734
ty my man

>>57499343
Looks like server hardware.

To what end?

>>57499495
others are x4

You could have bought a vastly superior X10 Supermicro motherboard for the same price.

So no, you should have researched more before making a buying an overpriced and outdated board.

*should have researched more before buying an overpriced and outdated board.

>>57499614
Natex has them for 175 and they were cheaper than that. That RAM is actually worth a little bit, though, so good job. It's still a shit workstation.

>>57499392
Those are all pci-e 8x and 1 16x...

>>57499378
/Thread

>>57499343
absolutely

I paid two times that for that sort of a hardware six months ago

That's because you're stupid, not because OP got a good deal.

So show me a better deal then. Better MB+CPU+RAM for $450 or less.

HP Z420

>>57499343
You did okay anon, maybe a bit too much but just fine. Enjoy

>>57499343
Been thinking about pulling the trigger on this for the past couple months. Rather wait for the 128GB ram one to get in stock for $50 more. It's a pretty good deal as long as you get an old bios and never update it. The updates broke pci 3.0.

>>57499343
You did fine. Now build a workstation and post it here.

>>57504482
well my dual cpu EEB board has 10g ethernet, and my 64gb ddr3 is ecc, and I had to import it to my cuckhomeland from the US, so I really think I did quite okayish.

Those cpus are listed in our used buy/sell place for around 1000 euros a piece - not that anyone would buy those at that rate
