[tlug] Intel Server Board S1200BTL

["Curt J. Sampson" <cjs@example.com>]

Last weekend I posted on Yahoo auctions a quite decent (albeit old) server
motherboard with a Xeon E31230 3.20Ghz and 16GB RAM installed.[1] This is
special in that, among other things, it allows you to do everything (even
the BIOS setup) not just from the built-in VGA and a keyboard, but also
over one of the two serial ports. (It's also got a BMC[2] with IPMI 2.0; I
don't recall if this is also network-enabled or not, but I would guess it
is.) This for many years was my primary server for Starling Software and,
later, my business-level Internet connection at home, running mail, web
etc. servers.

It's not seeing a lot of interest on YA, so I thought I'd mention it here
in case anybody needs a server-level motherboard with out-of-band
management or just wants something to play with to learn about that sort of
thing.

Though the auction ends Sunday evening, it's currently awaiting even a ¥1
bid. Shipping is around ¥1100 in the greater Tokyo area, but I'm happy to
save you that by handing it over to you in person somehwere not too far
from Shibuya or at a meetup or nomikai.

I also have a few other far less interesting things for sale[3] (a "normal"
motherboard, some cards, etc.), in case someone happens to have a need.
