I can find a bunch of the E5-2697v4 CPUs on eBay in the $30-40 range.

I wonder if there is a market for the SGI hardware.

[michaelt]

So getting 8,064 of them for $3,085 - 38 cents per CPU - is great value for money!

this is basically "free grand piano" - not so free once you hire the movers and tuners

[dylan604]

At least a piano doesn't require power and cooling to operate.

[zdragnar]

Not with that attitude...

[kube-system]

Dump 8,064 old processors on eBay and you'll probably introduce some downwards price pressure.

[jeremyjh]

That’s just the current bid and it hasn’t met the reserve.

[slavik81]

The reserve price for the auction is $100k.

There is, but really only for the MIPS hardware.
