Cheap server hardware for anyone who wants it :D

I bought an HP DL380 G4 server yesterday but it is just a little bit louder than I would like (we live in an apartment and my servers sit in the living room) so I am putting it up here in case anyone wants it before I ebay it. It is not loud at all but I'm worried the gf might not like it. I paid $10 for it so thats all I want for it. It didnt come with any drives but I bought 3x146GB U320 SCSI drives for $5 each if you want any of them. The system works I tested it with a monitor and keyboard, as well as through the iLO card. Whoever wants it will also have to cover shipping unless you want to come pick it up. reply or PM me if you are interested and I will give you all the specs.

tempting, if I wasn't so busy with school right now i would grab this from you, looks like a great deal

yea its definetly not a bad deal. One thing I forgot to mention is that the hard drives I have dont have carriers. Thats the one thing he didnt have. Since the box was used by the DEA he had to destroy the drives. Other than that its a Xeon 3.4 GHz, 800FSB, 2MB L2, 1GB DDR2, iLO card, cd drive, floppy, dual NICs, Dual power supplies.

UPDATE: Seeing as how we are trying to raise money for the new servers, I have decided that instead of recovering my cost for the machine, I am requesting that whoever wants it, simply make a donation of at least $30 to the S&H paypal account. After that is done we can make the shipping arrangements. I am working on tearing it down and cleaning it out right now.

I hope someone jumps on this as it is a steal for this machine and benefits the community. If you need any support for the machine such as how to use the iLO card (really sweet, can power on and off through web interface as well as many other tasks) feel free to get ahold of me.
