EPYC 7642 GPU Compute Server — 2U / 4-GPU chassis / 128GB / 3× NVMe - $4,500
QR Code Link to This Post
This is a beast of a machine, extremely fast.
Asking $4500, will entertain offers.
Note I also have a second barebones ASRock Rack 2U4G-ROME/2T with no CPU/memory, etc. Purchased as an intended backup machine.
This system was originally assembled for a high-performance computing project with plans to add GPUs, but the project was cancelled before deployment. It has remained racked without power and was never placed under load or put into service. System has been booted briefly for initial setup and to install Windows Server and that is all.
✅ System Specifications
Chassis / Platform: ASRock Rack 2U4G-ROME/2T (4-GPU capable, enterprise 2U)
CPU: AMD EPYC 7642 — 48 cores / 96 threads
Memory: 128GB DDR4-3200 RDIMM (8 × 16GB, full 8-channel population for single CPU)
Primary Storage:
2 × Samsung PM9A3 3.84TB U.2 NVMe (enterprise SSDs) setup in RAID 1
1 × Samsung 980 PRO 1TB NVMe for boot drive
≈ 8.7TB total NVMe flash
Networking: Dual 10GBase-T onboard
Expansion: 4 × full-length GPU slots + PCIe lanes for multi-GPU workloads
Power: Redundant PSUs (factory configuration)
🧠 Intended Workloads
This is not a generic server — it is designed specifically for high-throughput compute and storage bandwidth use cases:
AI / machine learning / inference with GPUs
HPC scientific computing
CUDA / rendering / VFX workloads
Proxmox / VMware / KVM virtualization clusters
High-IOPS NVMe storage nodes
Kubernetes / container fabrics
The EPYC 7642 + full 8-channel memory + enterprise NVMe makes this an exceptionally balanced and powerful compute node even before GPUs are installed.
📌 Condition and History
Built and racked, never put into production
No GPUs were ever installed
No heavy runtime hours
No datacenter wear, no corrosion, no dust
