Pros: Shipped fast easy to install CPU, RAM, CD/DVD, not to big for a server.
Cons: Boots to black screen and then 5 beeps. Supermicro support says bad CPU's but I have two brand new CPU's and it does it with both. I can't imagine I have two one brand new right out of the sealed box are both bad? Supermicro support was helpful and quick in responses so 3 stars I typically like supermicro servers.
Overall Review: I pulled the CMOS battery, tried two different brand new Xeon CPU's...turns on then 5 beeps. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or why it would not boot. Also anyone looking at this server it does not have a video port be sure to purchase a video card and this one shipped with NO heat sink fan. Supermicro typically ships them with a heat sink? Not sure why this one didn't get one?
