6 servers were decomissioned, Iwas able to only get the disks, RAM, CPUs and Network Card.

The total of this is : 88 x 8TB SAS disks 44 x 16GB RAM sticks (half 2133, half 2400) 6 x v3 Xeon e3 2630 6 x v4 Xeon e5 2640 3 x 10 GB PCIe dual port cards 12 x 1U heatsink

I’m really lucky to have all of these, even if I don’t have a use for all of that for now (except some of the disks)

EDIT: Forgot to mention: All of this for free, I work in a datacenter!

    Nice haul! I hope you also managed to get the small power plant for the drives. That’s not going to be pretty.

      Would something that can switch on and off the drives as needed be bad for them? A small bit of lag could be worth it if they really would take that much to power

          And RAID hardware and software do too - this can be a problem with some drives (I always forget which ones, WD black? Or is it the reds? I’m almost positive Greens are not recommended for RAID arrays)
