Hey Tony!

 TL> How much was it?

I don't know but I'd guess at least 500USD.  Also ecc ddr3 ram isn't cheap
although I have a spare 16G (two 8G sticks) I can spare for the cause.  Add to
that a suitable case, power supply and at least one drive and one might guess
in the neighbourhood of 1000-1200USD.

Definetly would make a good development system for aarch64 methinks.

The gory details (other than cost) for "GIGABYTE - Server Motherboard - ARM SoC
- MP30-AR0 (rev. 1.1)" can be found here;

Also of interest but in the "I won't be buying" category is the "GIGABYTE
Announces Its 384 Cores 2U Server Powered by Cavium" found at;

Life is good,
Maurice
