This was my works active server until a few months ago. Going to fire it up soon and get it fully working like I did with the last batch of servers I received.

Last time a lot of you said dont even power it on due to power consumption, I do not care about the power costs. Unless you pay my bill, dont worry how power hungry it is smh

Wow, that takes me back. I ran one of those for years with the 18.2G drives...

Loud as hell, power-hungry as hell, super long boot times... but it was a golden time in my life and I kinda wish I could go back to. Right in the feels sir, right in the feels.

Same. I still remember when I took the last one of these out of service at my job. It was a well equipped version and was fully populated with 300GB SCSI drives in a RAID-5.
