      Really? I assumed they’re old and huge and heavy and not worth anything hahaha. He was gonna recycle it but asked if I wanted to have it. I bought a bunch of 2.5” SAS drives, but I honestly don’t know what I’m doing with it. I should have a friend over to help me get it set up.

        No I’m not 100% sure exactly what OS they’re running or the specs on them but 154 gigs of RAM itself on a blade server itself is worth something. If you can I would throw a couple of instances of Linux on it you could use it as possibly a Plex server or something else like that.

            Yea, looking it up it’s a power edge r710, which is the exact model in running my Plex on.

          No OS on it right now! It has a USB drive to boot from and maybe ten or twelve SAS slides. Two quad-core Xeon processors of some sort, and two PSUs.
