Hi,
I need to have 12 or 14 systems with an Core i7 CPU running into the same rack and because of this I am thinking about creating a blade.
Blade vendors does not have blades based on Core i7 but only on Xeons, so I am thinking about assembling a custom blade.
I don't need special features: 1 x i7-7700K, 32 Gb RAM, 1 x 120 Gb SSD M.2, 2 x Gigabit interfaces and 1 x IPMI interface.
The main problem is the case. I found some "blade" cases (6 or 9 Mini-ITX motherboards, http://www.buildablade.com/) but it's too much expensive.
I also found a twin Mini-ITX 1U case (https://www.xcase.co.uk/collections/blade-server-chassis/products/1u-mini-itx-blade-twin-system-chassis-x-case-ki-m550), but I didn't find any case for more than 2 motherboards.
Can you help me to find the necessary components please?
Thank you very much!
Bye
