smithyandco Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) This unit is taking up room and we don't use it. We have a xSeries 226 for our projects/studying. * 1x Intel Xeon 2.80Ghz CPU (upgradable), 2 CPU slots (You could buy another Xeon 2.80Ghz for duel CPU) - 32-bit only as far as I know but runs the 64-Bit 3.00Ghz Xeon CPU from our 226 fine.* 512mb PC2100 Server DDR RAM (upgradable to 8GB depending on OS) - Might be able to find more ram before sale (but just assume I can't find any) - 4 x PC2100 DDR slots* Onboard ATI RAGE XL graphics (seems to be on a laptop style memory slot) (AGP Pro slot for upgrades also) - Can throw in a inno3D nVidia GeForce FX5200 128mb for haggling!* 48x CD-ROM drive - Normal IDE type so upgradable* 425W ASTEC PSU - IBM OEM unit* 6x IBM SCSI Ultra320 hot-swap slots with 6x blanking plates - No HDDs for security! - As this was an ex-business unit - They are cheap enough to buy on eBay! - Controller board included with working battery (I forget which ServeRAID version it all is).* Onboard sound - It's basic, but does the job!* 2x Rear USB(see faults), 2x Serial ports (useful for Router/Switch console), 1x Parallel, 2x PS-2, 2x Front USB Faults:* No floppy disk drive - If I find one before it's sold then I'll include it!* One of the rear USB ports bust - Looks repairable, just fiddly!** Case has some marks/scratches (will include pictures soon)* Key for case side panel lost - It is unlocked though! * Original discs lost, all drivers, setup discs can be found via the IBM website looking for xSeries 225>8649>5CG Looks like:http://usedservers.com.au/images/x225.jpg Exact server model: IBM eServer xSeries 225 8649-5CG Would make an ideal file/print/email/intranet server for a small business, a small scale web server.Or even for IT Tutors as a server teaching tool, Students as a learning tool, for projects or just for hobbies! It might not be a beast of a server but it would probably surprise you to find out a fair few very large car clubs run their sites on servers less powerful than this one! A fair few businesses use less powerful servers than this also without any issues! Unit is in Mirfield, West Yorkshire as is available for pick-up or arrange your own courier (It's fairly heavy!) Price... I have no idea what it's worth! So for the sake of the rules let's say £100 - I will listen to any offer as this unit is taking up valuable space! ps. I don't want any comments from those not interested in buying this unit... You know, comments like "Ewww... IBM... Shoulda bought a Dell!"

sidrick Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 If I was to arrange a courier, what's your availability like? I.E. is there someone at home most of the time, or can it be collected from your work or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithyandco Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Bit of interest but no PMs or "Dolla"... Quite like this thing gone! If someone has a decent LGA775 Screw/Bolt on HSF (bolts to case... not bolts to board) they could exchange I'd take even less!And/Or 2gb (2x1Gb) matched make/model or paired DDR2 PC5300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithyandco Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) *Wonders how much he'd get by weighing this in... seriously it weighs a tonne!* ... Daft offers, 2GB PC5300 (2x1GB preferred) and/or decent Screw-on Skt775 HSF will probably be taken! Someone on another site asked for an internal picture... http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/23372.jpg May as well post it here too!

smithyandco Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) Considering breaking this unit down if there is any interest... Or wiping 3 HDDs for £45 on top of the server price (3x36.4GB, 10,000RPM) - current ebay price seems to be £11.50 per disc without caddies, £14 per caddy on top (Saving £31.50 on ebay prices) might take me a while to wipe the discs to a standard I'm happy with...

smithyandco Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Still not gone yet... I might end up breaking it or sticking it on ebay at this rate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
