My university had excedent servers after cloud migration and were going to throw them out. Any tips for sourcing drives and ram?

If in the US, eBay or r/homelabsales.

Ddr3 is dirt cheap and those units are long in the tooth , e-waste so parts are dirt cheap .

Edit: I can't tell what it is, assumed g8 but the P models don't have heatsinks like that. It's either an E model or older. If older, literally not worth sourcing anything. I will send you a g8 for free just to scrap this ddr2 machine lol
