FS: Dual Xeon Motherboard (Supermicro X5DAL-G)

[GotNoRice]

This is a great board. Pretty much the only e7505 ATX form factor board out there that actually has the Integrated Gigabit Ethernet on a PCI-X bus instead of the PCI bus. It uses the 82545 Intel Gig chipset. Stand alone cards based off that chip go for about ~$115 on newegg. Should make for some AWESOME network transfer speeds provided the rest of your hardware can keep up :)

Specs:
Intel e7505 Chipset
ATX Form factor
2 PCI-X slots (One is 133mhz, the other is 100Mhz and shared with the onboard Intel 82545 PCI-X gigabit controller)
2 Standard PCI slots.
4 DIMM slots for Dual Channel DDR. (Unbuffered or registered)

This board goes for $369 on newegg. I’d like to get $300 for it. I’d go lower except that this board is still essentially brand new and I already have someone interested if I go any lower.

PM or email me for more details. GotNoRice@NOSPAMfusionlangaming.com

I’ve already gotten an offer for $275, but I’m going to hold off till Monday since I’m kinda pressed for cash and would really like to get $300 if at all possible.

Are you telling me you went through all this crap to get this board and you are giving it up! (a la 2cpu.com posts) Are you going to stay on the dark side with another Xeon board? Or come back over to the light!

Sillyass has the same processors as I do, and he just got an Iwill DPI533. When he posted the screenshot of them running at over 3Ghz with almost an 800Mhz FSB, what I needed to do next became painfully clear :)

Bittersweet resolution though, because I spent the last 2 freaking months telling myself how awesome it was going to be with PCI-X slots and the screaming transfers I was going to be able to pull off… The DPI533 has only standard PCI slots. :(

Been thinking about putting together a new server though. Not that the Dual P3 550Mhz Xeons w/2meg cache I’m running now aren’t cool, but they don’t handle running game servers as well as I’d like. With MPX boards so damn cheap I might go that route.

About the X5DAL-G. I got an offer for $275 and it's currently pending.

Well let me know because I got some MP/MPX boards that I might be parting with. Gotta make some room for Opteron setups :D

I’m definitely interested; maybe we could work something out on the 19th at the LAN?

Sure thing...hit me up on IM and we can chat about what you are looking for.
