Hi everyone, been a while since I've been on here and you guys are the go to people for good info...

Now just so you know.. I'm not intending to sell this but want to know if it's worth keeping and maybe some info on it.

Now the server is very large rack server but has no make on it.. Just a sticker that states it's a pre release intel development platform

I've had it apart and it seems there is 4x itanium single core processors... Or what I believe them to be as it says intel confidential so am I right in thinking they are es chips? But on the underside of them it has the cpu number as a qs aswell.

It has 8x1gb ddr ecc registered ram, 3 hard drives which are all un marked and no labels so no idea what they are yet, it's a very bulky machine I can provide some pics if need be, one of the power supplies has blown and it won't fire with one it throws out some beeps at Me... So I can't test this fully...

Now feel free to criticise my knowledge as I will admit freely I don't know a thing about these things... I know my desktops more than something like this

It was given to me buy a friend who was clearing out his garage at the time and me being me thought yea great I'll lift a 40kg server into the car ha what a great idea that was... Now until I find out if it's worth keeping or not it's just sat there gathering dust so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Thanks guys I'll probably just wedge it on ebay and let it go for whatever it goes for in that case. It's quite a large eye sore so thought I'd see if it was worth keeping or not lol...

I didn't expect it to be worth anything to be honest was more hoping I had something that I could have put to good use...

Never mind... For free even if it buys me a beer that's a result ;-)
