Xmas in August!! 3 ML370 G5's & Barracuda shell
-
Man these are 3 tanks I have! All 3 of them have a little different specs. FREE!!!!!
What to do with them, what to do with them........hmmmmmm
All of them are clean, no dust buildup. So they were in a proper ventilated DC.
Folding? Seti? Bitcoins? Gaming rig? What do do with free crap?
I would say lab, but AWS is cheaper than my power bill. (I am on Co-op power.....yeah....)All 3 have only 1 backplane for drives, 8 Drives per box. I have an open bank of 8 more per box, I could Frankenstein one of them.
The drives I have are all 2.5 SAS, here is the breakdown:
(3) 72GB 10K
(9) 72GB 15K
(14) 146GB 10K
(2) 146GB 15K
I have PLENTY of extra trays. So buying bare OEM drives works.

Plus I will need lots more RAM.
All of them have iLO, but only two toe tags.

@Texkonc Have you got a graphics card sitting around? I'd be tempted to grab a card from Stallard Technologies and getting a multiple user/gaming/lab running on one box.

An old performance AGP interface one. Yeah.....I know.....
Just a basic PCI-E one, so I will need a better one.
