Quick question. Is this a mechanical x4 slot or full width?
it is actually full-width, it can take in full-length x16 cards but negotiate its speed down to x8 not x4

thumbs up @aasimenator

great device at great price.
I just deployed it as an opnsense load balancer. Despite the bad power management on freebsd (as against say debian or even windows), it’s drawing just 15W at the wall (actual load).

I know a 9500t is extreme overkill for this but i was almost about to purchase a protectlii clone with a celeron for a slightly higher price on amazon.com so this is a much much better buy .

For anyone wondering about the fit, printing the stl shared by @aasimenator on the previous page is good enough to secure the pcie card.

Yep I got this bracket printed with black abs .05mm fdm.. Looks good and keeps the card sturdy.
Btw are you using load balancer to combine 2 isp connections or load balancing some self hosted service?

i self printed with PLA so its a little soft (notice the crack near the screw ) - but again, don't think i am ever going to wrestle with that card so should be fine :)

I am using opnsense more as a 3 WAN failover setup.
WAN1 is primary (Airtel fiber), WAN 2 is Jio 4G LTE for failover for those random days when Airtel fiber goes down - happens somewhat regularly in Pune unfortunately.
WAN3 is HSG LAN with a shared WAN .

Failovers are within a few seconds so we often dont even realize there is an outage till until someone starts moaning on the HSG whatsapp group :)

HSG? How do you manage 3 uplinks with 3 ports? Or wan 3 is where wan1+2 traffic goes?

The housing society i live in. It’s again an Airtel fiber line so it’s usefulness as a backup is kinda moot but since it’s there, might as well.
Since its a not reallly ever in active use except rarely, WAN 3 is via a USB Tp-link adapter. Its a Realtek (8193 i think) chipset and was plug & play on opnsense.

Hey Guys,

I have one more unit that is pretty special. its a P330 with Nvidia Quadro P1000 4GB GDDR5 GPU
You can have this as a barebones (with GPU) for Rs. 15000/-

I also have i5 8500, i5 9500 CPU available to go along with this system.

Sorry to bother you all, but does anyone want to sell their P330 with pcie riser? (or trade with HP 600G4 which also has dual nvme but no pcie slot)

This was sold to @abmr2d2

Back by popular demand, I have managed to get my hands on 20 x the same P330 but these do not come with any riser card. instead, comes with HDD Tray & cable.
So if you want the Riser, it will have to be bought separately, I have sourced around 10 of these risers right now. but I am trying to source more, they are just costly and harder to find

In general, the pricing has increased and has been increasing for the past few months, I've been told imports have slowed down related to refurbished systems, so those that have stock are charging a premium.

P330 Barebones Only = Rs. 6000/-
P330 Barebones + 1 Year Warranty = Rs. 7000/-
P330 Barebones + Riser = Rs. 7500/-
P330 Barebones + Riser + 1 Year Warranty = Rs. 8500/-

The warranty is again valid for non-physical damage, in case of any physical damage (burn marks etc. and water damage) warranty will be void, Also you need to ensure that any signatures on the system are maintained and not removed.

As before, full system options are available as well, you can combine it with any compatible CPU of your choice, just DM me with your request and I will see what's available or can be arranged.
