Hi,
I have at home a HP ProLiant ML370 G4 server that I bought in a garage sale at the beginning of the summer. It is in fully working condition with Debian 7.5 on it.
Here are the specs: Year: approx 2004 CPU: 2 physical Intel Xeon 3.20Ghz CPU with Hyper-Threading, so the OS sees 4 cores Ram: 2gb, with many free memory slots Network: 2 server-grade EtherNet cards Graphic card: Ati Rage XL HDD: 3x Ultra320 SCSI 72.8gb 10000rpm, now in hardware RAID 0 Optical drive: DVD reader/burner: I replaced the original CD drive. Other: Tape backup drive, floppy drive, 3 USB 2.0, fully redundant fans, double power supply Weight: approx 90-100lbs
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?
Thank you for the info! -Alexandre

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.

Good to know! When I bought it, I though that I could use it as a regular computer, but it needs 15 minutes before it gets to GRUB, just to do its power on self tests. After that, the 8 big redundant fans makes it very disagreeable to use, plus the Ati Rage XL doesn't show rage at all when it comes to drive today's large screens.
I'll try to sell it on Kijiji before this elephant makes a hole in the floor. :) -Alexandre

LOL ... I'm happy I could get rid of that "server" stuff years ago. and they had SCSI hardrives and big fat cables. I suspected the cases had to be that heavy to prevent the units from taking off when the fans turn on in selftest :-)

Now I know why you speak native language standard English, but are apparently French....

Bonjour Lisi,
Tu n'as vraiment pas l'air de croire que ma langue maternelle est le français? Mais ce n'est pas grave.
-Alexandre ---------- Hello Lisi,
You really don't seem to believe that my primary language is french? But it doesn't matter to me.

What makes you say that? (I would reply in French, but my French is far too rusty.) No, of course I had noticed that your langue maternelle was French. I was commenting on the quality of your English - explicable if you're Canadian not French. I may even once have known that you are Canadian, and forgotten.
But then you probably know that. ;-)
I had burnt myself a copy of your new CD to look at, but gave it away this afternoon. So I still haven't seen it. :-(
I am going away, but will do it as soon as I get back.

Hi Lisi,
I'm glad to hear that you took the time to download my PCLinuxOS remaster. I'm sure you'll like it.
Merci! -Alexandre
