I'll be moving to a new house this weekend, and have decided that I'm
not going to be doing anything with the 8 or so 2U-3U rack servers
that are sitting in my garage. In a former life these babies were
powerfully important F5 BigIP servers, but they can still be put to
good use today as a home music/media storage server, or even just an
experiment-on-me breakbox. All of the machines power on fine; their
modest hard drives have all been wiped clean of the expensive load-
balancing software and most now house random linux installs. A few of
them currently have no hard drive (the drives were only like 20GB
anyway, so you're not missing much), but they all have the potential
to contain quite a few of those shiny new 1T drives you've been
drooling over when you go to Fry's. I didn't take the time to note
other specs about them, but my guess is that they're somewhere in the
later-model Pentium 3 range.
I plan to bring some or all of them with me tomorrow to my work in
Fremont. Email me if you are interested in picking one up, and we'll
make arrangements, even if it's later in the week.
