Current Primegrid setup.

One Dell C6100, 32 cores total.
One HP DL360 Gen9, 12 cores.
Three HP DL360e Gen8, 12 cores each.
One Raloy rack console.
One Omniview PRO3 KVM USB

Got the DL360e Gen8 yesterday at a good price, $209.  Might get two more!!  This server is doing the llRMega at about two hours per work unit . It's the one at the far bottom of the pic.

Update:

Got the  two other Dl360e Gen8 servers.  Updated picture. Awaiting two 2.5 Hard Drives. Tried Ubuntu, but I still find it too hard to work with. Installed a 16gb pen drive inside of each server to boost a bit Windows when I install it.


UPDATE 6-28-2016

All three Dl360e gen8 are working now. Installed two Toshiba drives and with a little BIOS tweak got it to work. Latter on might get two used HP 2.5 HDD just to avoid the hassle. Got it working with Windows 2012 Server.  Doing a mixture of Primegrid work units.

Will be installing some gpu's with usb risers to boost the performance on work units.  Might stick with Nvidia because that way I can do cpu and gpu work units. The newer AMD gpu's are better BUT you need to create a app_info.xml file to make them do work.  Not going that route.  Will be looking for cheap Nvidia or older but good AMD gpu's.  I'll keep you posted with some pictures.
