It’s a supermicro x8dal-i with two xeon x5650 from 2010. 6c/12t each, base frequency 2.33 GHz, turbo to 3.2 GHz single core, 3 DDR3 ports each in two Numa nodes, for a total of 24GB at 2400 MT/s.
It only supports PCIe 2.0, for a 1060 3GB.
It’s slow as hell in single thread, it’s acceptable in multi thread. It doesn’t go out of memory.
It sounds like a lawnmower. It boots up between 1 min and 6 min. It overheats and shuts down in summer (hence the desk fan and the little fan blowing on the chipset). It chokes that 1060 with its slow PCIe. Lots of sata, only one 128 GB SSD. Most games from before the 2021 run.
Overall pretty cool. It has two Intel gigabit Ethernet.
