Recently ordered a server for home use from this shop. When the unit that I ordered was out of stock they actually upgraded my order to the next higher sub-model, free of charge! Good communications, relatively fast shipping. I do recommend this shop for anyone in the used server market.

These guys were great. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they included a midplane kit with my r730xd build, which is what I originally wanted, but I didn't configure my order with it. Dmitrii took care of me and sent me a replacement fan as one was DOA. These guys stand by their warranty. I was also glad to find someone who had Nvidia Tesla P4's in stock to be included in the build. Highly recommended!!!

Ordered a pair of Xeon e5-2640v4 through their ebay store. They shipped them out quickly and they arrived packaged well and working. Can’t ask for more. 5/5 will buy here again.
