I was thinking the same. Just big/hot and probably noisy.
Will probably buy.
Summerhost 2k18 edition?
Ha. Try that with a toddler, wife and a bun in the oven.
Throw away? They will need far too much power.
Old and useless.
Home test lab! I'm sure your wife won't mind having to wear hearing protection in the living room. She wants you to be happy, right?
I would not need that much servers, so i would sell them so i do not waste them while someone else can put them in use. Anyway, it reminded me this thread.
If you mean barebone (no cpu, disk, ram) they would be ok as boat anchors. Or maybe you could just use the enclosure and p/s and swap in a more modern mobo.
keep them for 30 years then they will become retro tech and you can sell them for near what they were originally worth
I'm still upset about the IBM XTs and C64s that I had gotten half-way to the appropriate age for becoming "retro" before they got purged. Also really wish I still had my old Apple II manuals.
Anyone want to make me an offer on some classic Xenix discs, complex with manuals, though? Or OS/2 1.x?
$20 is not a good price for those. We have some of the old gears (E55xx and some 4 sockets Opteron boxes) and we probably need to pay someone to come to get rid of these. For a datacenter heater, they are a bit too noisy to run.
Seems like the general consensus is to stay away. I guess I'll take my $200 to Hard Rock Casino this weekend instead.
Take them to a computer recycler. Maybe they will send them to Africa.
Where are they located? If you don't want to buy them, I may use some heaters for the winter if the shipping is cheap to my place
