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.
Oh man that would be awesome to have just the hardware alone is worth decent money.

At the very least, keep it and in a few decades that will be an impressive piece of history that you will own!

Looks like a standard pizza box server. Blades are something else.
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.
