Please Colo my Macbook cheap

William

No joke. Really. Lets see if this is feasible.

Any location in EU, it comes with USB-C Gbit ethernet and a 45W power brick.

I have 3 unused with broken display or keyboard that should still do fine as servers (1TB SSD, i7-6700HQ etc.)

Is this legal for people to accept since you're a sanctioned individual? Genuine question, not trying to make it hard on you.

Ah don't worry bro, your bank will not cancel you because of my macbook

No, not an issue, im not on any that should be internet relevant.

You'll probably want to have the battery removed from it as I imagine most datacenters wont be pleased with a lithium fire hazard sitting in a rack

Will the macbook even boot without its battery?

They do.. but some Macs absolutely cripple the CPU.
Example. My early 2011 with its Sandy Bridge true 4 core, is forced to 800mhz and will not go to its base clock or turbo until I insert a battery.

It is EXTREMELY miserable.

I posted about this sketchy site a while back and was always wondering if it was real. Maybe you'll test it out for us? https://www.colaptop.com/

Also this is real, i buy a "new" used Macbook like every year due to Keyboard or Display issues...
It should be a ok server forever.
