used, but better class of card.

or something similar from the used sellers.  There seem to be a decent
variety of cards under $100.

Manufacturers that are good are HPE/DELL/Intel/Broadcom/IBM/Lenovo.
But you do need to do a bit of research on the given cards to see what
the real chipset is.  Avoid Emulex/Be2net variants they have "issues".
Intel/Broadcom/Mellanox based cards are good.

This is awesome, thank you very much! I'm still trying to get up to speed on 10G networking, I genuinely appreciate this advice.

With that two port card, I could get three and just run direct cables from my desktop to the servers, then a cable between the servers. No switch required, and it would be fast as heck.

Thanks!
Thomas
