So I’m an absolute slut for auctions. There’s a 24U server cabinet on govdeals currently at $10.00 in Henderson KY. It ends at Apr 25, 2025 02:41 PM CDT (about a day and a half from when I post this)

If it wasn’t a 2 day round trip, it’d be mine. Just thought somebody might want to snatch it up. If you’re close, that is.

Still an auction slut, but I’m interested in this one for myself. Was hoping somebody might comment on it, a.k.a. knowledge is power.

THE AUCTION IN QUESTION

It’s a couple of mid 1990’s servers. I’m mostly interested in the smaller tower as a home for my R720. I’m assuming the servers themselves are e-waste. Maybe I get lucky and there’s a big 'ol UPS in there someplace.

Thoughts?

I think that’s a bit massive but if you have the space for it do it

Yeah, I hate sitting on the floor to work on stuff. The lower half is basically just there to get the rest up to an easily accesible height.

Really I just wanted to know if the contents are mostly too outdated to worry about.

definitely outdated and it doesn’t look like there is a UPS. I’m interested in the RS/6000 though so I’d come buy it from you if you get the lot. It has absolutely no use to me pther than fitting in with the other ancient Unix machines I have.

I’ll make an attempt at it and if I snag it, we’ll do something.

Cool. Maybe I can trade you a UPS for them.

I have one that I use for various things, it was just the one thing I could think of that I’d be able to make use of.

I’m a noob. Big Noob.
