* 48GB RAM
* SD flash module
* 6 drive bay backplane
* 4x gigabit NIC
* 2x PSU
* IDRAC Enterprise
* VMWare ESXi 4.0 Enterprise Plus for 2CPU (1-12 Core per CPU) build 504850
I have this old server what do you think I should do with it
Set up something to monitor Sup Forums for new tripfags, then add it to a list for cracking, so we can relentlessly bully them.
Just keep running VMware or some other hypervisor on it.
OP here should I run a dedicated game server on it?
yes do that.
something old and fun, like something from before 2000.
Is that licensed VMWare?
Yea it is
Really now cock monger no need to be a douche
do fuzz testing on programs
Are you gonna do anything with it like use a UPS or do crazy backup schemes?
Not sure I just recently acquired it and don't know what to do with it just yet
How much did you pay for it?
sounded like the reply was well intentioned. Replier liked stuff before 2000 like doom maybe.
Hook me up with the key? You really should update to ESXi 6.0, though. They have a free license.
sent
You got me lol
Please god this, can you imagine 16 threads shitting out 50M trips a second? It would only take months to find them compared to years
350
I haven't bought it just yet but they want 350 for it
R710? My nigga
That's exactly what that is do you think with those specs 350 is a good price
No, more like 200 and only because it's the 3.5" model.
It's not bad for your first server, enough ram for a few VMs so you can do some lab shit. Just make sure the processors support vtx and vtd, you can look up the processor model numbers on Intel ark
All Westmere Xeons support VT-x and IOMMU.
any place i can get old servers for cheap?
My question is will it support 3.5 inch drives and will it support 4tb or 8tb drives gonna make an overkill media server as well
I got this from a local shop near me he has a shit ton of them I would look to see if you have a place near you with the same
You're a moron and no.
I'm also drunk at the moment and on Sup Forums
wouw. where
Ah ok. i was looking for some old and used servers. the spec you got there would cost at least 3x of what you have paid
I'm not even a server guy and I have no idea. But omg those sound like some sexy specs. It makes my mouth water.
run hentai@home
Is that like folding@home but for like you know hentai??
google it nigger
also:
video render/encoding machine if you're into that sort of thing.
give it to me to replace my more weak much older ESXi host
