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

DL370 G6 I believe I have. It's currently running my home automation. Swapped the fans for a custom setup and tricked the ILO with an esp 8266.

Works like a dream. Cost...nothing ✨ My favourite number 😎

These are cool. Used to be the workhorses of the internet - and a lot of other things.

OP what o/s are you /will you run on it?

I have just got a Sun v60x that has a corrupt version of Debian Etch on it. What do you think I should put on it?

Love your style :)

"i dont care about power... Unless you pay my power bill..."

But, but think of the children and your carbon footprint and all those greenhouse gasses using all that power will create...that impacts everyone. Lol /S

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.

Ancient? Okay, I'll shut down the business.

Holy cow.
