Archived thread 929897 from Michigan Team - US. Markdown source: Michigan_Team_-_US/thread_929897_Servers_up_for_grabs..._Part2.md
In about a month it looks like I will have more corporate off lease (old) servers, free to a good home in the S.E. Michigan area can be used as file/web servers, something to learn on or as a paper weights if you like. No details yet (most work) I just know that they will fill up a pickup truck bed.
Stay tuned...
How old is old?
Staying tuned, I could use a few of these if there is a surplus.

the last batch was compaq 1600's with pII's, 1650R's with pIII's, ml350-g1's and dl380-g1's
the 1600's are the paper weights, but still fun to learn on...
I also would be interested. Not in a paperweight :)

P.S. Nullhead has first pick...
Cool, short drive :) Let me know when/if I get a pick
I would be interested in picking one up as well if there are any leftovers.
There most likely will be a few leftovers shall we say. with things being a little busy lately, we just needed to find the time to set them up and wipe the drives. hopefully it should be in the next week or so.
Not to be a schnorr, but any word on these? I almost bought an old Prolian today on craigslist to play with then remembered this discussion.
I'm also interested :) Hope it's not too late
nope, just waiting on my cousin to get the time to wipe the drives.
Works for me. I ended up not giving into my baseless temptation to buy one off of craig's, so I can wait.
Ok, Here goes........
some old compaq proliant's up for grabs, you can do a search on the models
we haven't opened them up so this is my best guess.
1 ML530 (pIII ?) 1 6500 (Pentium pro 1-4 cpu's ???) 1 DL380 "G1" (PIII.. 1 0r 2 cpu ?) 3+ 1600's (probably PII.. 1 or 2 cpu) 1+ 2500's (pentium pro?) 1 3000 (maybe PIII ? maybe pentium pro?) 3 drive arrays (2 stand alone and 1 rack mount) several DLT drives (35/70) 1 pile of other stuff (maybe 2 piles) assorted hard drives... (should all be scsi)
let me know if interested and I can find out more if needed when time permits.
Nullhead has the first choice, it was my promise to him from the last batch.
located around the Roseville Michigan area.
I'm probably most interested in the ml350. If it's at all convenient, perhaps you or I could take a look at it. Do you know if these work?
I am interested in just getting my hands on the best available if and when my turn comes around.
I am in no dire need of a server, just want one if it's feasible.
Well the ml530 is my pick. :)
I'll take a couple scsi drives off your hands too.
If that 3000 looks like this one, I'd love it. Always wanted one of these big *** cases.
Of course any extra memory or hard drives that are surplus and will fit would be welcomed :) .

my guess would be the the dl380 G1, it should be a 1.0 ghz if it's just like the one I have.
but you can always come take a look when you/we get the time.
Nullhead I got your PM, we could set up a time that all could come and pick out what they want.
It makes no difference to me. Someone go ahead and pick a date. I'll let you know after that if I can come or not :P
I'm interested in the 1600 and possibly some harddrives :popcorn: oh and maybe a drive array.

oh and maybe a drive array.a 1600 should be a PII they are a little slow but durable. it should come with drives in it... http://intranet.ccb.ac.uk/acdept/technology/computing/COURSES/mct_2/510/maintenance_plans/Compaq_com%20-%20Compaq%20ProLiant%201600%20-%20Product%20Details.htm
Holy cow. This week flew right by.
Has anyone worked out a time/place to make this easy for rustybronco?
Perhaps it'd be easier to get a gathering time after the holidays have passed. If anybody has a specific date that works, then let it out :D I think I can come just about when ever you're ready.

I second this. I have a flexible schedule as well.
I third it.
it's been busy this holiday season, sorry I haven't got back with you sooner. tentatively, I think sometime next (not this) weekend would do for all concerned and more that likely it will be at my cousins martial art studio. I'll call him today and let you know as soon as I can.
Bump!
heh I had forgotten about this until just now! I thought I'd help remind everyone else too :P
I trust you all had a good holiday season :)
Holiday week was great. Less work. More laziness.
Are these still available, is anything from this usable for the recycling/donation project?
Thank for being so patient.
The servers and related items are available @
Maison martial arts 25213 Gratiot ave. Roseville Michigan 48066
during normal business hours http://maisonmartialarts.com/schedule.htm
starting tomorrow 01-21-09 until Sunday 01-25-09
ask for Lloyd and tell him you are from ubuntu forums. I myself (Dale) will be there some time Saturday and Sunday I hope.
fell free to take what you would like!!!
if you need a phone number for Lloyd PM me.
whatever is left will be donated/recycled
all that have shown interest have been PM'd
*update* there are 11 servers at the dojo, plus a lot other server related items (drive arrays, tape backups, ups's, kvm switches, ect.)
Thank you so much, Dale! I think I'll be stopping by tomorrow sometime to take a look see at what's there. I'm interested in the ml530 and a few scsi drives.
:D
I look forward to meeting all of you that are coming to pick up servers :-) I get servers and enterprise level equipment fairly often and I'll try to get them posted here as long as there's a need or want

I was gonna use Hugh Jayness as a name but.........
Might have to sit this one out.
I work for a mortgage bank. Rates are low and VOLATILE. I do not have the expected freedom this week to head out Roseville way.
It's not liek I had something reserved, but please don't count on me making it out.
Kind of sucks, but the work is paying off (looks like better hardware is in the pipeline for old AW PHENOM 2 maybe?).
If there is another round of server stuff, please keep me in mind.
I got 6 scsi hard drives for my gateway rustybronco gave me last time. My brother got two KVM switches. They all work!
Thanks, rustybronco and DaServerGuy! :popcorn:
Nullhead, they are all operating pulls, and at that time they were perfect working servers.
only today and tomorrow left. don't let them get parted out :)
