Got this server for free, so I talked about it on my blog !
Do you guy have any ideas on what I could run or install on this thing ? (For fun of course, nothing serious!)
I can hear that thing from here. We had so many of these damn things in the IBM lab I worked in. They got super hot too. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I weep for your power bill, lol.
Oh... you just remind me that I forgot to put thermal paste back on it.. (the server is actually on right know)
And it's not for 24/7 use, no worries for my bill ahah!
Thank you! it's been a while since I last posted, maybe I should write something new sometime
Put it in storage until 2054? It is still young enough to be recent history.
I think it would be cool to figure out how to preserve the hardware. If you can figure that out you could make a time capsule and then bury it.
The CPU is an Intel Xeon from 2004 (yes, old Intel Xeons do not have model number, they are differentiated by the GHz number and the number of core).
So turns out intel never had a good naming scheme xD
… also 4G of memory, still more than my Pi4
