      Do you want to use this for a lab server or production?

      For maybe $150 I don't see why not, you'd have 8 cores to work with, which should be more than enough for a lab.

        I won't need anything production class - If I did, I would go with something newer, and with a warranty, and more disk space. I can add four more drives, but why..

        Pretty much a 'lab' box. Not even sure what I need or would do with it. I have a NAS, so it's not needed for storage.

          While in NY for MangoCon 2016, I picked up a HP DL385 G5 from the NTG Inventory.

          As it turns out,.. it would seem that this is the unit with a failed MOBO.

          Is it worth $100 (plus S&H) to replace?

          DL385 G5

          • Dual PSU
          • Dual CPU
          • Two 73GB 15.1k drives
          • Two 146GB 10k drives

          I got a DL380 G6 with 24 GB RAM for $200 off of Amazon. I'd say no.

                Nice thoughts for some lab machines there.

                Or for me, backup machines for our production server. 🙂

                  Not to be totally self serving.... You all have the opportunity to have lab access to NTG's lab you know 😉

                    But having a lab on the other side of the country isn't the same as having one that I can go smash with a hammer until it starts behaving itself again.

                      Yes, I do. And when I get things sorted out I may do just that.

                      However box could end up running some software to host a Radio system,.. so has to be local (to the radio).

                      Ah well.. no biggie.

                        That's why we didn't get it fixed.
