With the advancement of servers over the last 5 years, I'm not sure what the possibilities of this hardware is and what potential it has from an economic standpoint. I know they would work for web servers, file servers, VM hosts, etc but some of the new servers out there with 4 CPU's with 12 cores each, makes these things look anaemic. A brief list of the hardware is below:
(4) Dell 1950's with dual CPU quad core Xenon 5450 3.0Ghz - 32 GB ECC (Samsung) Perc 5i - 6 3.5" drives SAS, Dual broadcom gigabit
(7) Dell 2950's with dual CPU dual core 2.66Ghz (same gen as the E5450 but dual core) - 32GB ECC (Samsung), Perc 5i, 2 3.5" SAS ports, Dual broadcom gigabit
(1) Dell 2850 Dual CPU Dual core Xenon - 6 SAS drives
(5) Cisco (MCS-7835H) 2 Xenon 3.4ghz CPU, 8GB DDR2 SCSI U320 hard drives (6 bays) dual gigabit ports, dual power supply
HP Proliant BL460c Blade server Gen 5 (or maybe 6?) (5 Blades) all dual CPU Dual core 3 GHz - 16 GB each
APC 6Kw UPS (6000w continuous supply for 20 minutes I beleive)
2 APC 3000w UPS's
As far as networking equipment there is about 18U-23U worth of components - all Cisco professional. Cisco gigabit switches (48 port) routers, large networking setup This includes PoE switches along with power supplies for them, networking telephony equipment, etc. 3600 routers. All have fiber ports or fiber to copper modulators (and copper to fiber)
I'm making an inventory list of everything that needs to find a home, find a purpose or take the long march to the E-waste facility (not a great thought).
There are also a number of laptops, about 20 that are about 6 years old, but are in great shape and have been in storage for the last 3 years after they came off lease.
Looking on Ebay for these items gives such a wide price range ranging from $30 for a server to $400 for the same one, maybe with slight differences in specs (2.33 Ghz vs 2.66) and other things that just don't seem to justify those price differences. I can't get an accurate price for what some of this stuff would actually sell for, if it would sell at all.
If anyone has experience in this and can give me some places to look to find if there is demand OR if maybe they could be networked into a more robust system for someone who might need the computing power this could offer.
