hello,
I honestly don’t have the budget for it, although I would love to buy it. but I’m wondering why you want to sell it. If it’s not private, can you share it?

That is just storage porn…


and a car battery

This would most likely be a 4 year ROI at current Chia price of USD$35 right?

One percent loss of drives each year and then after 4 years 10% so yeah about 4 - 5 years if I laid down AUD$105k - that’s what I think it’s worth without knowing how old the drives are.

id like to know how much electric this pulls, im guessing it could hit the ROI quite a bit with the EPYC’s in there.

You would only need that to plot or replot, farming after that it would still be quite low power or you could use a different harvesting machine.

It would be nice to know how much RAM this server has.

2x 128gb sticks as stated in the post.
drives are 1.5yrs old (still under warranty)
Power wise i cannot remember as its been a while since i plotted but it think it was somewhere around the 2kw mark and running solar so majority of it was free.

buy yes the idea was to plot on this then migrate to lower consumption systems.

seeing if anyones still interested, whole system is almost C7 re-plotted

unless, you have all drives 18-20TB or free energy. XCH at 100 USD. imagine who would buy it, right now unless you sell it for 0$ :wink: Most kids just lost their dreams of making a killing in crypto :smiley:

Ah, 45 Drives as in the case maker that derived their cases from Backblaze (more or less).
I thought you meant the number of drives per machine for a minute.

yepp,

60 per case (one has only 30 filled)
