I have a couple Dell R710s I’m no longer using as I’ve upgraded to newer hardware. I doubt they’re worth selling or am I wrong? Would the parts be worth anything? Would anyone even pay shipping on them to just get them delivered FD my hands? I’d honestly let them go for shipping costs as I’d love for someone to learn the things I learned from them. If anyone is interested I’ll share the specs on them.
Been running an R710 for a few years with 60TB. Would love to get around to migrating to a better lower power solution- but damn, this thing is rock solid and zero failures on the drives. I
If shipping was cheap enough and I could talk my wife in to letting me spend the cash I’d be interested, been meaning to start building out what I have and to actually get started using services and trying new things, never been in a situation to start buying bigger enterprise gear and normally use just my desktop to dabble every now and again, but I want to start experimenting with clusters, home automation, garden automation, while also being able to run a few game servers, jelly finand or Plex ect
I bet you would find takers on r/homelabsales.
