OT: Compaq Proliant 2500 Servers - Any Value?

[Allen Taylor]

Good Day Folks,

Off topic but someone might be interested (and I did use a Slack disk
for testing!):

A gent I.m working with has acquired some servers originally paid for
with your tax dollars. They are probably heading for the landfill but
I'm posting in case there is any interest in them.

Compaq Proliant 2500 (Qty: 9)
   - 200 MHz Pentium Pro (two sockets, one installed)
   - 128 MB ECC Memory
   - Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 
   - Raid card (brand/model unknown)
   - no hard drives 

Compaq Storage System (U1 and U2, Qty: 7)
-	storage expansion units (again, no drives)

I test a few of the machines. One would not boot at all. A couple of
others hung while loading Insert (Knoppix clone). A Slackware 11 install
disk loaded nicely to the command prompt so they should be usable as
servers with the right drivers.

We.re clearing out a warehouse in Newmarket so these will not be around
very long. If anyone has an interest in one (or more) please contact me
off list. I will confirm but I suspect the price will be very close to
or equal to $0.00.

Thanks,
Allen
