Says it has unspecified "missing components". No bid on this yet,
closes today.
Speaking of items on govliquidation.com where there is no bid, I was
told that they get relisted until they sell. If it doesn't sell a
couple times, then they bundle it with something else they think will
sell to move it outta there :-).

Also -- don't you love it when the "pictures" of the lot of random
stuff are pictures of the cardboard box? "ooh honey, look, its a
near-mint triwall!"

Not in my experience at least. Maybe it's random chance, but for example
there was something there I wanted to bid on about 30 days ago. I spaced out
and missed the auction, no one bid. It hasn't been relisted. I dunno.

Any chance it was bundled with something else? It could vary based on
the base, but this is what the person at Hill AFB told me they do with
unsold lots.

Grrrr.... I just picked up what I *thought* was a 3700 eaarlier
today -- but it doesn't look like the photo above! :-(
Crap! Why can't DG put model numbers on or in or ANYPLACE on
their boxes? I've got another (older) AViiON -- that I *think*
was a 3000? -- that also was a chore to identify.

There's not even a nameplate affixed somewhere?

If you take the plastic front bezel off (which ONLY says "AViiON"),
you would be hard pressed to think the machine wasn't just some
generic Intel server! :-(
Likewise, the older "3000" suffers in the same way (the front
bezel is the only thing that says anything -- "AViiON"). Pull
that off and it just looks like a generic "made by intel" server.
Maybe intel made these as generic MP boxes and other folks
rebrand them as needed?
<shrug> Dunno. I'll snoop around the disks and see if there
is anything else that sheds light on what it is...

The only way I know to verify the govliquidation.com descriptions is
if they have the full purchase chain documented. That gives the part
number as issued by the manufacturer, along with address & telephone
of the manufacturer as well as any 3rd-party resellers in the whole
supply chain. I've seen crisis.com listed there before :-)
