Hey there! I’ve managed to acquire four EVGA Classified SR-2 boards, each featuring dual Xeons, Noctua coolers, and RAM. I think the value of the board might exceed the other parts, but I’m unsure if they’re still in demand. These are among the few overclock-capable Dual Xeon systems, though I’m not sure what to do with them. My partner doesn’t want these components occupying too much space in our home anymore—after all we’ve got four other PCs already. I was particularly drawn to the SR-2 model. Are they still considered valuable? Do they have a market worth considering? I checked eBay and Gumtree, but no one seems to be selling them. I’ve booted them all successfully and they run Windows fine. I have two units left (shown) and two installed with graphics cards and power supplies. Thanks for your assistance!

Check eBay recent sales, there’s roughly one item per month around $300. Mostly collector’s items. Would you like to purchase one? Are you in the SF Bay Area?

They’re really impressive and fit well with today’s mid-range options, even in complex multi-core environments.

Absolutely valued as a rare find. Few people have survived until today.

I'm in Australia and I'm feeling nervous! They're really impressive. The person who built me all these components was super into overclocking. One of the PCs I received was an old Asus Rampage Extreme, featuring a custom liquid loop on its GTX690 and CPU. It's awesome stuff!

They look great! I was hoping for a specific purpose, but I got a bunch of computers at once. One seems to be a server with four xeons inside. After turning it on, it started posting, though the fan was designed for servers, so I shut it off right away.

I've started Windows on all four devices, but I haven't attempted to install Furmark yet (the only program currently there).
