Just rolled this beauty into the shop and thought I'd start a new thread to share the adventure. I hope to have it ready for it's first power-up today.

Dual or quad cpu?


That’s an expensive monster of a machine. Then and today.

It has at least one CPU card in it but I can't see any other ones.

How much do you want for it ?

Now to figure out the state of the RAID.

I'd be happy to sell it, I've got no idea what they are going for now, if it's something you're truly interested in pm me an offer, I'm never offended ;o)
atm I just want to know it's in decent condition so I'm not passing on a night-marish POS.

P.S. - it's a heavy bugger, about 70 lbs...
