6 servers were decomissioned, Iwas able to only get the disks, RAM, CPUs and Network Card.
The total of this is : 88 x 8TB SAS disks 44 x 16GB RAM sticks (half 2133, half 2400) 6 x v3 Xeon e3 2630 6 x v4 Xeon e5 2640 3 x 10 GB PCIe dual port cards 12 x 1U heatsink
I'm really lucky to have all of these, even if I don't have a use for all of that for now (except some of the disks)
EDIT: Forgot to mention: All of this for free, I work in a datacenter!
While thats an awesome pile of storage, I weep for your electricity bill.
Holy shit, I know where to apply for a job next time 😅
Damn dude. Nice score. :D
Damnn all for free! Lucky bastard
Lmao Put her to good use!

"IP" in this context would be "intellectual property"
Oh damn. In I was happy 20 years ago about two jet engine like coolers, which ran on 230VAC from a decommissioned computer tomograph
Hey! Would you be willing to sell some of them? Looking at setting up a server at home that some of my friends and neighbors can use. I was going to buy them brand new, but I'd be fine with used if your interested in getting rid of some of them.
For now nope, and it's SAS, do you have use for them ? Also look at serverpartsdeal to buy some nice used drives ! https://serverpartdeals.com/collections/hard-drives
