WTB Backplane and 1 or 2 blades

[BryanK]

As the title suggests. I'm interested in how the Blade setups work and want to build one.
I figure I start with one or two blades and expand from there. (Thats why I want the backplane)
If you have a PSU to go with it, great. IF not I can get one on my own.

Let me know what you have and we can work something out.

I live in the US so I would prefer dealing with someone within US


Payments Disclaimer: Because BTC is fairly new to me (about 3 months of playing with it) I don't have much BTC. (about .28 to be exact)
With that being said, I have quite the paypal balance (business verified) If that doesn't suffice, i can always buy BTC (3 days transfer time), find someone that wants to trade btc for pp (like no one), purchase amazon cards, or IDK whatever else thats meets your fancy.

Im newer to the forums so trust level for me is probably minimal. Im just looking for an honest person to work with me and do an honest transaction.

If after reading this you still considering a transaction, please get in touch with me and let me know what you have.

Thanks so much!

Buy bitcoins with Coinbase and then buy the equipment with bitcoins. It'll be much easier for you to find sellers since people are always afraid of paypal refunds.

Just my $.02    I would wait on the backplane.

Here is a good link on setting up a single blade (no backplane) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=205369.0

The backplanes I have seen on the internet are around the $100 mark.  I would keep that in your pocket or spend it on another blade.  I just got into the blade scene myself and have had mine running for 4 days now.  My setup is next to my fileserver in my laundry room.  I have the cover off and a spare molex wire from the power supply running over to the blade.   Some of the vendors I have seen online will give you a backplane for free with the purchase of 7 blades.  So wait until you get a little further along.  My tests on the power supply I have running now, will power my server and up to 4 blades.  By the time I add from there, I will worry about the backplane then.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.  The link above should answer most of them.
