FAQ:
Why should I buy from you?
I work with Core 4 Solutions in Minnesota, USA, where we specialize in reselling pre-owned & new Servers, Network Switches, HDDs, SSDs, and more. All pre-owned gear is thoroughly tested.
We also offer custom-built servers to your specs at very competitive pricing. If you're looking for a specific config, just ask and I'll quote it!
A lot of our stock is listed on eBay, but I can often get you better pricing if you reach out directly.
Watch how we deliver servers at scale, under budget, in a week!
What items do you have in stock?
Our inventory of 80,000+ parts is constantly evolving, as new items arrive daily and many items sell out within a few months.
In general, we stock:
- Servers (Dell, SuperMicro, Gigabyte, HP, etc.)
- Switches (Arista, Juniper, Cisco, etc.)
- HDDs / SSDs (all brands, all sizes)
- Spare Parts / Components (Fans, PSUs, CPUs, GPUs, NICs, HBAs, Memory, etc.)
How much is shipping?
For most orders shipping within the US is free! There are some exceptions, such as when shipping a on a pallet to a location that does not have a loading dock.
International shipping can be quoted before ordering. Just ask!
Do you offer a Warranty?
Yes! We offer a 90 Day Warranty on Full server builds (with CPU, RAM, etc.). We offer a 30 Day Warranty on HDDs, SSDs, spare parts, and barebones/ partial build servers.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept wire transfer, paypal, credit card (via our portal), and CRYPTO. Wire Transfer is preferred as fees are less for us.
Comments
Whoops! Accidentally posted before I finished writing it up. Updating the post with actual deals shortly...
1.5 hours to write the offers…
At about 50 words per minute ~ 4,500 word offer post ???
Squats are the new Push-ups
lol. Our internal system went down for a while (perfect timing). I've posted some HDD/SSDs offers for now and will be posting some server config deals later today. Would be nice if there was a confirmation page before submitting a post.
I can vouch for the above.
Drives we got are all 100%, NVME moste are 100%, 1 of them is at 98%, and we are talking about Enterprise NVME, that withstand tons of Petabyte write and read. As an example, in our infrastructure a consumer NVME wears out at 60% in 3 months, we are exchanging all NVME drives with Enterprise ones from @NathanCore4
PS: Their support is fraking awesome!
THX! @NathanCore4

Will these take second gen CPUs?
Yes, Gen1 or Gen2. If you have a specific config w/ Gen2 CPU in mind, I can price it out for you. Just message me the specs.
I guess, HDD shipment to Lithuania would cost a fortune?.. The 8TB EXOS at that price really look tempting...
It wouldn't be free.
But we ship HDDs globally every day, so I'm happy to quote the shipping if you let me know how many and your postal code.
Ask for a quote, to Romania it was OK, sam price as getting any from the EU. ( taxes are another thing, but even with import fees it was worth the effort ). we had 0 problems with the products, no drive was damaged, packing was done like you could actually throw it from the balcony and withstand the fall.
Forgot to mention, no AFF to these guys, just a happy customer

"If there is no struggle there is no progress"
I got some C6400 nodes from Core 4 last month. They came in great condition. The only thing I will caution is that the PSUs on these bad boys are a bit hefty so they needed the C20 to C19 power cord. I use C14 to C13 most of the time, but luckily my PDU has a handful of the C20 outlets.

AHHH THESE ARE GOOD DEALS. You are tempting me
You are right... Import taxes will kill me. Here in LT we can only get <150€ (including shipment) for simplified taxes (VAT only - 21% here), so that would be max 2 drives...
I added some deals on 14TB Seagate SAS HDDs, and some Arista Switches.
To @FlorinMarian or any that want to do SAN/NAS based storage.
If you want to do the CEPH storage, that Arista model will do perfect and at that price-point it is basically for free.
I recommend using DAC not AOC or Optical SFP+ for storage.

I wanted share a new video that shows our Core 4 Solutions / Rhino Tech Group warehouse, tech center, and the processes we follow. If you haven't worked with us before, message me and let's chat about how we can partner on hardware this year. I'd love to help deliver servers at scale and under budget to help you grow efficiently. Let's chat!
Watch the Core 4 Solutions Overview Video!
Added a deal on Dell R540 12x3.5" Servers. I have 3x available now!

That sound good
Hello, for one of this, how much does it costs shipment to Italy, if you provide it? Thanks
SynthoHosting: DDoS Protected IP Transit, Dedicated Servers and VPS
It's probably about $150 to ship one to Italy. If you provide postal code I can estimate it more accurately.
Hello,
22100 - Como
SynthoHosting: DDoS Protected IP Transit, Dedicated Servers and VPS
Looks like shipping 1x DCS-7050SX-64-R to 22100 - Como would be $80. So $250 total with shipping.
Awesome! I'll write to you in DMs

very cheap, but can't import into my country. (prohibition on the import of all types of second-hand goods)
I'd love something in Peru. Something low end, like an HP Microserver because electricity is expensive here. Do you have anything like that?
No, we typically stock only rackmount servers.
