@VirMach said: For the remainder I may just do 2600 or 3500 (with the 2600 you get full hyperthreading, with 3500 you don't but it performs the same. The 3500 should have better compatibility with the boards though.) These are the ones that will go in the $25 configuration so I'll let @Kris decide.
If that's the plan I go with though that might mean no 5500 version anymore for the $25 configuration and a slight delay on those until new CPUs come in, I might still be able to do a few of them with 2600's.
Whichever one allows me to purchase one quicker with a JBOD setup if possible. Like you said they both look similiar. I filled up Plex repo and playing with GetChannels now, and it needs a home, I'm riding my VM's at 80% disk and it's just what I need storage wise.
Okay, I've decided to go with the 3500 over the 2600. We do have a few 2600's which we might deploy and then switch out and retire after they're cancelled, just to keep things neat.
The 3500 technically benchmarks slightly higher, and the naming is less confusing at a glance. Plus I think it ends up having the best support across BIOS versions. We'll end up using these for the following:
A ) $25/mo - Ryzen 5500*, 16GB RAM, 4x1TB HDD (Can optionally upgrade to 4x3TB HDD) w/ a 500GB SSD snuck in?
B ) $35/mo - Ryzen 5500, 32GB RAM, 4x500GB** SSD (Can optionally upgrade to 4x1TB SSD)
And these will be the NVMe line because I think we're also likely going to end up having weird problems with PCIe RAID controllers with the 5500's after patching them.
C ) $45/mo - Ryzen 5500, 32GB RAM, 2x2TB NVMe (Can optionally add up to*** 4x hotswap disks)
D ) $55/mo - Ryzen 5500, 64GB RAM, 2x4TB NVMe (Can optionally add up to*** 4x hotswap disks)
So I'll have 2 to 3 units with 2600's ready first, taking them down to also test out KVM and get provisioning module set up. For these I'll likely sell them to whoever wants them on this thread. I'd likely want to keep those to just the $25/mo and not the $35/mo though but one might be with SSDs just to make sure there's no problems. Consider these the "beta test" for dedicated. I'm assuming that's one for @Kris and then whoever else, chime in.
Then a delay on the 5500's as it's going to end up delaying everything else if I spend any more time on them.
The 3500's won't come in for a couple weeks. Also we have a weird issue where my ECC memory is higher per DIMM, but can't be used with the 5000 series, and my lower is non-ECC but the 3000 series can technically use it. So what that likely means is we'll just go with non-ECC across the board and then if anyone really wants it, for any RAM upgrades/customizations we can use ECC on 3000 series.
Update on the 5500 - I finally got the VGA issue sorted out after ... however long (let's not talk about it, took way too long.) Now I need to fix another issue with them I wasn't even thinking about too much. I don't know if I mentioned it so I won't get into that but the most important thing is done. This means the 5500 is front of the line again and you can ignore whatever I said about the delay on them. Unless something bad happens.
@VirMach said: @taizi can you tell me why you wanted BIOS access? Because all I can think of right now is that it'd be a bad idea. Any little thing if switched depending on what BIOS version, what CPU and memory combo could mean breaking things. Or maybe you never mentioned BIOS.
BIOS access enables to customer to setup admin password and disable the USB ports, so that you can never get into the machine again after the customer cancels their services.

Short answer, you're better off just buying a plan higher up and using half the resources or whatever. I wouldn't be able to slap the "VDS" sticker on it without doubling the prices. Don't worry we're not going to run out of resources, everyone idles so use that to your benefit if you're not going to idle.

Since we have the 3500's ordered and 5500's ready-ish to go, what I'll likely want to do instead is rent out the 2600's for longer terms. So we'll probably do $250 a year or $500 per 2 years and for that (2 years) we can throw in some upgrade like that with anything I can find laying around. If anyone's interested just let your interest be known in this thread, first come first serve.
I really don't want to have to track these few weird servers every other month to see if they were cancelled.

Don't DM me, claim it publicly, make it explicitly known you intend on taking a spot so everyone else knows since we have limited quantities of these. Of course it's not a contractual obligation to make the purchase but it's best if you're pretty sure so whoever definitely wants one can claim it.
Yeah sure, waiting for a confirmation. And @Kris let me know if you want this annual version with 2600 or 3500/5500 version monthly. You mentioned you wanted ASAP. So we have up to three of these I think, that could go to @Wonder_Woman@Kris and @skorous if you're all cool with annual (and biennial to sneak in drive upgrades.)

So 4x3TB connected to a RAID controller that can at least handle them as JBOD and 500GB SATA SSD. I could also do 500GB NVMe SSD if you're cool with it just kind of hanging off to the side and pressing up against the controller.
