Garbage.

I wouldnt want that slow arse monstrosity sucking power down in my house.

 

[R-T-B]

Eh... not much outside of the *nix realm, honestly. And even then it's a huge waste of power.

scrap metal

Use for industrial modern art project.

I'm not sure if this is available for non-business customers, but where I work, we have a company that pays us to recycle old equipment. They will take anything but UPS batteries. What is your general location?

You are in the USA and i am in EU

Chassis would be cool to keep. Junk otherwise. Maybe find a way to convert the chassis to a NAS build?

Dang. I have no idea if there is anything like this in the EU. I'm not sure if anyone has use for the full system. I know some companies can pay top dollar if they are desperately needing a legacy component because something broke (my old company did). But finding buyers is hard.

There should be an option I think, here in the UK there is. Even back in Romania some recycling companies are collecting stuff like this for free

 

[R00kie]

There would be private recyclers that you can call up and they'll collect it for you.

 

[FireFox]

I wont give it to anyone for free lmao

 

[Bill_Bright]

I think recycling options would be greater in the EU and UK than here in the US.

There is an electronic recycling center near where I live and they pay you for the steel and aluminum content. There are precious metals in RAM and CPUs they pay you for too. It is pennies on the pound but the point is, they recycle it properly to keep hazardous waste out of the environment.

This place, however, does not come to you unless you have a lot.

 

[jboydgolfer]

You can definitely recycle parts of that, regardless of whether you're in Europe for the US.

 

[FireFox]

Nah, it is a Fully working 1998 Hardware, that said, it wont be recycled

 

[EarthDog]

Then trash it.

Or, we'll see you on hoarders in a few years. ;p

 

[Sasqui]

This is one of the coolest looking heatsinks I've ever seen! Must have cost a fortune to make but for what they probably charged for the whole server back then, money wasn't really an object

 

[Liviu Cojocaru]

You could've specify that when you replied this:

[R00kie]

So you're trying to offload it for cash? I'm pretty sure the only people that would take it, would be the museum.

 

[Boatvan]

If you aren't willing to recycle, I say part it out. Nobody will need the full system, but like I said earlier, if you are super lucky, some company may need a part from it.

 

[natr0n]

Till you can sell it. Put a table cloth over it, so at least that server serves a purpose.

You find some of them for 1200€ or even more on Ebay.

The whole setup costed around 20.000€ back them.

The owner was Betty Barclay ( Ladies Clothing Company )

 

[Liviu Cojocaru]

If there is an option to get some money for this I would say go ahead put it on ebay

 

[Space Lynx]

Yeap, there is gold in it and the power cable has gold connectors too.
