Yep, just picked up two second-hand servers I bought on ebay.. They are:
Dell Poweredge 1650 – 1RU, Dual PIII-1.4GHz, 2GB ram, 2x 100Mbps Eth, 3x SCA drive slots. Also bought 72 and 146GB HDD’s in caddies for it. Though I’ll actually put an 18 and maybe a 36 in there… The 72 will nicely upgrade the 36GB Exchange drive in the main work fileserver, and the 146 will either make a nice scratch disk for video editing work, or go back on ebay and pay for itself (i really just wanted the caddy but the guy wouldn’t sell the caddies without the drives…). This will be VMware1.rendrag.net – main eth on workstation (private) network, secondary without IP used for vmware for virtual machines..
Compaq DL380 G3 – 2RU, Dual PIII-1.4GHz, 2GB Ram, 4x Gig Eth, 6x SCA drive slots. Came with two 18GB HDD’s – one 10krpm, the other 15krpm. This will be VMware2.rendrag.net – main eth on workstation (private) network, other eths used one per virtual machine so I can keep using MRTG on my switch ports.. – though we’ll see how many VM’s it ends up with 🙂
Spent quite a bit more than I wa splanning, since those drives weren’t planned (the dell was just going to sit for a month or so till I could find a caddy to put one of my spare 18GB SCA drives into…
New servers!
