Upgraded ;) **PICS**

[Pl8er 5,000+ posts]

So I keep my music all stored on a "server" which was an old AMD Athlon 3000+ that I had from a few computers ago. Had a 60gb IDE drive and a 500gb SATA drive for the music.

**imagine a picture of a standard tower here**

So my work upgraded to a bunch of blades lately and my buddy works in the I.T. department and tells me that they are throwing out (well recycling) the olde servers so we can take what we want.

So I upgraded. Yellow box is a Google server (I believe the retail when new was over 20k) its dual 2.66 Xeon 6gb of ram and open slots for 6 drives with the RAID card already there.

Other two are a bit older running SCSI Ultra3 dual 1.4's. Still...I think I upgraded today //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I have a slot open for a SATA controller so I'll use the SCSI backplane until I start filling in the slots with larger SATA drives. I'm going to go with 6 750gb drives when its all done.

Nice google appliance.

Google appliance is the only thing not working yet. The others booted right up, but I need to get some stuff for the google box.

its the one I want running too since it has a raid controller for IDE and I have TONS of those

What is flipping insane is this HELPS my company?!? They are not selling any of this...they are just recycling it and whatever we take saves them since they pay by the lb.

I got about 4 extra power supplies, around 16gb of ECC memory extra fans, extra cd-roms....etc etc ROFL
