Hear ye, Hear ye! I come once again to ye with a tale of pillage, conquest, and servers!
Yes, you hear me correctly dear friends, through the folds of time, and the twists of fate, I have come into possession of several rack mount servers.
They’re not new by any means, and not all of them run, but none the less, that still leaves me with a few running and decent performance servers. I haven’t gathered any stats on them yet, and won’t be able to for a while (as most are missing ram), but here’s some pictures!
-
- The stack of older ones.
-
- The stack of newer ones.
-
- All of them stacked together.
Anyway, I picked them up for a measly ten bucks, so over time as I have a bit of spending cash, I’ll start picking up hard drives and ram for them. Once I get those things, the servers should be complete, and I’ll be able to run some ludicrously redundant, load-balanced, over-powered website that has a single gif image of a dancing panda. It’s a dream come true!
By the way, in case you’re curious as to what model the servers are, the old and new boxes are both Compaq Proliant DL380 servers, and the old ones are the Revision 01, and the newer ones are Revision 02.
