Servers, Computers, And More! All Kinds of Stuff!

PohTayToez · 07-04-2007, 09:43 PM

I recently bought out all of the equipment left over from a web hosting business that had to downgrade.
As a result, I have lots of older (but not bad) servers, desktops, etc.

Mostly, I have several (10 I think) Dell Poweredge 2450 rackmount servers. These come equipped with:

Dual Pentium III Processors (I think all are 2 x 733Mhz or around that... maybe some 1Ghz)
4 x 256MB ECC SDRAM (1GB Total)
2 x 300W PSU
2-4 9 or 18GB SCSI HDDs
CD-ROM and Floppy Drive

Right now I have 3 of the 2450s fully built and running, and I have several more that I need to work on, plus a couple of 6450s (rackmount) and a 1300 (desktop), plus several more workstations in the range of 533Mhz - 1 Ghz and 256-512MB RAM.

I also have a huge 220V UPS (probably worth thousands of dollars new... worth about $200 on eBay), a small 120V much cheaper UPS, lots of surge protectors and power strips, mice, Cat5 cable, keyboards, etc.

I'm looking for around $100 each for the servers, plus shipping which I think will be around $50, but I haven't looked around much. $50 is the maximum I think it will cost, but I'll shop around for the best deal.

The other stuff, PS2 mice and keyboards I'll let go for like $1ish plus shipping, same for Cat5 cables, power strips, etc. As for the workstations, probably around $20 to $50, plus shipping which I think is 20-30.

Mostly I'm just planning to fix up and put on eBay, but I'm posting here in case anyone is interested in such equipment. Maybe a server just to tinker and have fun with?

Pictures available on request... I'm planning to take some anyway, and all offers and trades are welcome.

EDIT:
Like I said, $50 is about the maximum... I just calculate for Indiana and it's only $20-$30. If you live closer to me you could save quite a bit on shipping.

Also, if you would like to calculate shipping for yourself, my zip code is 61839, and the 2450s weight in at around 46.5lbs, so I have just been calculating it as 50lbs as it will be more with a box and packing. Also, it measures about 27"x17"x3".

if only you were in the uk, i would certainly take some of those rackmounts off of your hands, too bad the postage from the US is a bitch

PohTayToez · 07-04-2007, 10:03 PM

Oh yeah... forgot to mention that US shipping only unless you want to pay around $200+ for shipping

**dragon2309** · 07-04-2007, 10:05 PM

hehe, yeh, im better off searcing on eBay for some, someone needs to come along with a really cheap US to UK shipping service one of these days

oh well *sigh*

As requested by PM, here are some photos of one of the 2450s:

oh they are slot PIIIs? What exact model of processor is it?

Is there a RAID controller, and if so what type?

Are the drives scsi?

PohTayToez · 07-07-2007, 03:44 AM

I believe there are several different ones, but the ones pictures are 733/256/133/1.7v model number 10480112-0469. Some of them do have RAID controllers as well, like the one pictured, which I would assume would be for RAID 1, and yes, the drives are SCSI.

How much for one 256MB ECC SDRAM ???
Let me know
thanks

PohTayToez · 07-11-2007, 07:05 AM

I dunno... $20 shipped?

tlarkin · 07-11-2007, 02:12 PM

Most server RAID controllers are RAID 5, RAID 1 only supports a maximum of two drives, RAID 0 + 1 would require at least 4, and RAID 5 would require at least 3
