Two PCI expansion chassis, Intel Mac compatible
Posted: Fri Jan 15, 2016 10:10 amSome of you might have seen these on the Facebook Audio Trading and Studio Gear Classifieds.
1. Magma PE6R4-I 6-slot
http://magma.com/products/classic-pci-expansion/6-slot-pci-x-expansion/
From memory, RRP on these was around $2500 at the time of purchase. $600 now.
2. Digidesign 64bit with PE6NE-I upgrade kit, effectively the same as the PE6R4-I
http://magma.com/products/kits-and-parts/expansion-kits/pe6ne-i/
Upgrade kit is now US$1800. Whole chassis with upgrade now $500.
Both include a PCI Express host adaptor. Maybe not the same model but equivalent to this:

and an Infiniband cable:

I originally posted this without HD cards or extras. I now have a PCI Core card and have permission to transfer an HD8 license for $100 extra.
These came from working systems and are "disposed" assets... part of the leftovers once we traded the minimum hardware for HDX systems. As a result of their not being on the asset register, they effectively don't exist and so my workplace can't issue an invoice or a receipt. I would prefer not to use my personal Paypal account so I can't be seen to be benefiting at the expense of my workplace, so I propose that interested buyers offer to purchase or trade items of equivalent (or close) value in exchange (for my workplace NOT ME).
