This server is
very fast, but I don't have much use for it.
I'd like to know if it still has a money value, and how much would it
still worth in production? I want to sell it, but I have no idea of what
could be a fair/good price for it. Could it be useful for this project?
I have a server similar to that one (IBM NetFinity) sitting gathering dust
I'm afraid. They aren't worth much these days; any savings in hardware
costs get chewed up in electricity in the first few months of operation.
Older Intel hardware is extremely power hungry; add to that the heat load
on the cooling systems in a datacenter and you have a server best used for
experimentation/learning. It's probably only worth a couple hundred
dollars at best.
