Hi,

I'm wanting to get into cpu mining, and am looking for 1 old server to do some testing.
Xeon, Opteron, Threadripper, heck, even EYPC (if i'm lucky)

I'm currently running a 1800x (8c/16t 32GB ram) so needs to beat that...

Ideally looking for along the lines of 16c/32t over 2-4 cpus. (32cores would be even better)
At least 8GB per cpu, preferably 16+
Not bothered about hdd. (I'll be using a 60 SSD)

Must be working.
Must be able to run Win 7 and 10 and also Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS

I know it looks like i'm asking a lot, but i'm pretty sure that there's loads of older gear sitting around do virtually nothing but heading towards a skip, so no silly prices.
Alternatively, if anyone out there has this kind of kit sat on a shelf not doing much, but doesnt really want to sell, i'd be very interested in hiring a server for while, just need to remote access, and have the above OS's on it.

I'm in the UK (Yorkshire), and can travel a reasonable distance to collect, but delivery preferable.

Thanks

I have a threadripper 1920x in an asrock taichi x399 mobo.

1 taichi mobo
ASRock X399 Taichi sTR4 AMD X399 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813157785?Description=taichix399&cm_re=taichi_x399-_-13-157-785-_-Product

thread ripper 1920x
AMD 1st Gen RYZEN Threadripper 1920X 12-Core / 24 Threads 3.5 GHz Socket sTR4 180W YD192XA8AEWOF Desktop Processor
https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-threadripper-1920x/p/N82E16819113448?

if you order them online they would be 320 + 265 = 585 usd plus shipping say 685

I think I could do about 200 less then that.

shipping it would be about 75 , I could charge you 400 + 75 = 475
