[AusNOG Classifieds] 30x Dell 1955's for sale at Equinix Sy3

[Alan Lee]

Boys and Girls,

I have 30x Dell 1955's over three chassis looking for a new home as they are about to be replaced with newer equipment.

Each physical server has 8gb of memory (usually 2x 4gb modules) and 2x Intel 5160's (4x 3.0ghz cores) and probably ~20ish 2.5" caddies between them all (no hdd's).  I have one spare server which has no memory and smaller CPU's (like 4x 1.86ghz cores or something).

The blade chassis has 2x 10 port gigabit passthru's and four power suppliers (you can run on two with reduced redundancy, that is what I have been doing) plus the rails.  I have one USB/KVM thing for them all and each node also has their respected iDRAC so you can remote manage the boxes.

They are located within Equinix Sy3 in a rack at the moment.  I can assist with moving / racking them if needed.  A little hard/big/heavy to put into an Auspost mailbox.  They are all currently working and doing random game related things (Minecraft as an example) with SSD's (I am keeping the SSD's!).

Looking to offload them all in a single transaction.  Open to any reasonable offer.  I can give you 90 days warranty.

They would be perfect for someone who wishes to play around with a ton of servers, wish to offer entry level dedicated servers,  play around with visualization (HyperV 2012 r2, Xen etc) or even use them as game servers (Like I have been doing).

Please contact me off list with any questions etc.

Thank you.
