Server - identifacation & selling

plumbergplumberg Veteran

I have a supermicro server with 2 physical processors that I built for my personal home use. Most of our apps have moved to dedicated servers online/ VPS. Now, we have little to no use of this server as its idle most of the time. We would like to sell it full / in parts and recoup some money we invested.

a. What is the best way to identify the current configuration of the server so i can list it for sale?
b. what is the best place to sell used servers?

On the whole, i see the server is on a good to excellent working conditions.

    a - the BIOS should list some basic spec's, for more in the OS you could try some of these.

    b - ebay, but don't expect much if its a low spec machine.

  • It depends on your location. You can try online second-hand stores and promote on certain local IT forums.

  • Normally the BIOS will list the CPU type, ram etc, but you might have to pull the disks to check what model/capacity/speed they are.

    Can you disclose the configuration ?

    I am planning to do that. But, i wanted to first collect basic config of the server. :-)

  • Thanks for your comments. So far, i have found out the following config:

    Mid-Tower - Supermicro SYS7036AT - 1

    Processor - Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5570 @ 2.93GHz - 2 Processors

    KINGSTON 8GB PC3-10600R DDR3-1333 REGISTERED ECC MEMORY MODULE 9965516-001.B00LF --> 8gb * 4 dimms

    Any offers? How much money can I get for this server or parts?

  • if os is windows, cpu-z has a function at bottom to save an output in txt files.

    @plumberg where are you located?

  • @plumberg - you will probably get about $200-$250 so its probably worth sitting on it and using it for something else.
