Two new servers

Re: Two new servers

We still have one of these as our main SQL server at work :o

Dual 1ghz, 2 gig of RAM, I think. Not sure of the drives. It's slated to be replaced this year...

Great, now some douchbag is bidding on the two G3 ML370 motherboards.

Re: Two new servers

Pentium, have you considered a Compaq EVO w6000?
It is a dual 603 system. Normally with a single core Xeon.
I know it is not a server, but it does not need VRMs,and if you upgrade from the passive cooling system (a duct over the two heatsinks with a fan that pulls the hot air and send it to the outside of the case) with two heatsinks with fans, you'll be OK. I have one of these (wife's System currently) stuffed with 1GB of RDRAM and two 2.0/400MHz/512kb L2 Dualcore Xeons (4 Logical CPUs are visible in the device Manager under XP Pro). It is not a server, but it is a stable machine. It has onboard SCSI too, so you can use some of your drives.
It is an option.

Re: Two new servers

I have 2 of these. A dell poweredge dual 500 and a rack mount compaq that takes the 1.4s. They are LOUD AS FUCK. Both the drives and the fans. I hope they're going in another room because you seriously will have trouble sleeping.

If you can assemble them into something for free, good. However I would not spend any money on these semi-ancient servers. I set mine up, played with them for a little bit and then turned them off and stuffed them under my bench. The novelty wore off quick.

Seriously, you are getting like what, 90 gigs out of the drives? Are those 10k drives faster than ata100 or sata? The raid is nice but all of the drives probably have a ton of hours on them.

Do what eG said and get a dual board. You will get way more use out of it.

I just wanted something to replace my Proliant 1600. ;_;

Re: Two new servers

if you want you can have the innards (board, CPUs, RAM) of my HP x4000 Workstation (dual Socket 603, RDRAM) :P

working fine, but i just don't have a use for it..

I thought you had like 75 computers in the basement.

How is it you get down to posting with a playstation?

Re: Two new servers

You want a dual socket 604 IBM Z-pro intellistation board? Accepts up to ddr-400 (buffered ECC or non buffered non ECC,) accepts xeons up to 3.2ghz (any with the 533mhz bus or slower, basically.)

I'd sell it cheap

If it will fit a w6000 case, I'm interested.

Just for the record... what do you want this server for?

Among other things, I want to make a near bulletproof dedicated gaming server. The Proliant 1600 just won't cut it for Garry's mod or Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, especially since I also plan on running other things like Folding@home to notch myself up on the Team Badcaps (49813) rankings.

Re: Two new servers

Cannot run 24 hours on end due to noise. Plus P3's math co-processor is weak vs a C2D based chip.

Build a small box of C2D like retail E2200, two sticks of 1GB DDR2 800 for 2GB, P35 chipset micro-atx plus HD3650 ATI video card and a 320GB SATA will not set you back more than 300. Much quieter, powerful on folding, and game-capable/server.
