spaceprop is on a distinguished road
I built a small cluster for running CFD and astrophysics simulations, but don't have any room for it in my current place. Any idea where/how I can sell it? I could part it out on eBay, but it has some value as a ready-to-go cluster, so I'd like to try to sell it as a whole. I tried a homelabsales subreddit price check thread, but only got interest in parting in it out. Just posted it to the cfd subreddit. I'm in Melbourne, FL if that matters.

This is not a for sale thread, I'm just genuinely at a loss on where I can list something like this.


Specs:

1x 2U4N supermicro server, each node has 2x E5-2690v2 and 8x8GB dual rank 14900R ECC ram.

1x desktop (head node) with a Asus Z10PE-D8 motherboard, 2x E5-2690v4 ES, 8x8GB dual rank 19200R (2400) ECC ram, big cpu coolers, GTX Titan, 500GB 950evo nvme drive, 3TB (3*2 in RAID1) storage.

FDR Infiniband switch (12 ports), cables, and dual port IB adapters in all nodes.

2x 8 port 1Gbe ethernet switches, one for intranet and one for management.

APC 12U netshelter cx soundproof cabinet for the supermicro server and switch, with custom upgraded fans. Can handle 100% load without server throttling. UPS

Software: CentOS 7, Openfoam and python installed and working on all nodes, SLURM job manager installed and configured, environment modules configured for Openfoam, python, and openmpi.

Totals: 108 cores (216 threads if you turn HT back on) at 3+GHz all core turbo, 320GB ram, max power draw ~1400W.


I held the record on the openfoam motorbike benchmark thread for a few months with this thing, haha.
