      I tried to find a better place for this, it seemed like the best place.

      I had a really rough year, and decided to close down my IT services. I really became frusterated not getting paid for services that were provided and working around the clock.

      I have an ibm x3950m2 no drives (trays included), dual PSU, 4 quad core Xeon 2.93ghz cpus.

      6 screen monitor mount (desk style)

      I used the server for an internal lab environment.

      If someone could use them I would let them go. Just trying to get a little cash back from them.

        @prcssupport Sorry to hear that, but I'd be interested in the 6-monitor mount. I'll PM you.

              I'm sorry to hear, but perhaps this will open the door to new opportunities.

                Sorry to hear bro.

                Shipping the server could easily be more expensive than the value of the server.

                  @prcssupport My friend who is the tech director of a rural school district with barely two pennies to rub together could really use that server.

                    Donation means tax deduction/write off.

                      @nerdydad That is true. My friend would get you as much of a tax write off as possible.

                          My business (side business but I need the money from it) has been extremely slow this year.

                            This is why I do not go after "MSP" type of business.

                              Thank you everyone,

                              Things have been going well despite my jump.

                              My father moved away last year and it opened a big spot for me to work in the construction field.

                              So far this year I have made more in the first 6 months than my entire last year. I'm just ahead of my full time job.

                              Anyway. I like to help people out as much as possible. But I'm torn.

                              I have an offer for the unit right now. I'm trying to get in as much capital for my business. I have a lot of tax right offs right now.

                              I have enjoyed the past 10months and not thinking about computers.

                                Sorry to hear. That's pretty much the story of MSP work these days, though 😞

                                  Sorry to hear about your decision. Although, from the above quote it does sound like it might be the right move. I have thought long about going back to construction but the market here isn't what it should be and I'd be taking a serious pay cut.
