This was my works active server until a few months ago. Going to fire it up soon and get it fully working like I did with the last batch of servers I received.
Last time a lot of you said dont even power it on due to power consumption, I do not care about the power costs. Unless you pay my bill, dont worry how power hungry it is smh
I get a lot of times some of this stuff is too old to really use in enterprise, but it still works for a lot of things.
I’ve still got a server running Ultra320 drives. It works, it’s reliable, and it is cheap. And it’s kinda cool to keep some of this old stuff running and useful.
watch out. its Active!
> This was my works active server until a few months ago. Honestly bud your employer was incredibly stingy if those were just pulled from service. Look up the warranty details to see how they most likely expired sometime around 2009. I wouldn’t want to work for that company, those things belonged in a dumpster 10 years ago. Yikes.
Very cool older tech stack. I would rock that at the house, at least part time, just for shits and grins.
Fine, u don’t mind power consumption, how about noise levels?
I said it’s good to play with but don’t bother using it for a serious lab long term.
You should open a museum
Unironically the fact that there aren’t far more computer museums than there are now is a travesty
I wonder if the big copper heatsinks are worth more than the CPUs
Damn… I really need to find a job that gives employees retired hardware…
When I first started when I work now we used to run these constantly, great servers I fired a motherboard with static once on these changing a ram stick out
Time to pull that active sticker
Question, why would you want some old hot and power hungry server?
I had this exact model run for 12 years nonstop with zero failures.
Intel Xeon Processor 3.0 GHz/800 are 90nm, chips, today we are at 2-3nm, the CPU is almost 20 years old,
looks like you are the right guy in the right shop.
I just got two dual E5620 Xeon systems. Free hardware is always worth it because it’s not going to a landfill.
today we are at 2-3nm
The fuck are you smoking?
the truth, im writing this on a 4nm based computer
i see you are in intel land, in the dark, mr fuck
come over to arm land.
I enjoy having avtual performance.
The first 380 with 64 bit support if i remember correctly
Eh, I have a G8 and honestly it’s not cutting it anymore, it’s been relegated to EVE-NG on demand and otherwise sits powered off. Can’t imagine what use a G4 would be other than to increase the electricity bill.
