The Hyve "Zeus" is a server made for Facebook before their "Open Compute Project". As a result there's about a bajillion of these things floating around on eBay these days


Hyve Zeus units feature a Super Micro X9DRD-iF motherboard with all PCI-E slots except for one removed


They are usually equipped with some variation of low-end Intel Xeons with passively cooled heatsinks attached


The unit I (unfortunately) upgraded with two top-end Xeon 2697v2's and 128GB of DDR3 ECC memory. As a result the unit now contains two Delta R25 7K RPM fans. The resulting noise of this server renders it virtually unusable in areas with people present
