  • A KGPE-D16 motherboard (~750RMB)
  • one/two AMD Opteron 6276 (~500RMB)
  • heatsink
  • UDIMM/RDIMM memory modules
  • SSI EEB case (~400RMB)
  • SSI power supply unit (not so easy to buy) (~1000RMB)

more things to do:

  • a graphics card
  • a PCIe NVMe adapter

Now it can boot with one CPU, but can't boot with two CPUs. Maybe the PSU has a bug, a new one will be arrived.

Now GTX 750 works but doesn't work with xf86-video-nouveau.
coreboot with Linux payload works and supports the nVIDIA card. NVMe boot is not tested yet.
