I bought this on eBay in 2012, sniping it for $100. Other PowerEdge 2950's was going for >$500, so this was a steal. They're still on eBay, mostly newer models and some 1U SuperMicro models which still look appealing.
At the time it was a beast and a perfect lab machine. Now it feels like a lumbering hulk. It's still ridiculous looking which is the hardest reason to give this up and I need the space and I don't have time (parenthood!)
I'm also giving it up because I haven't turned it on in 3 years.
During POST it draws ~300w with idle of around 240w. Powered down is still draws 40w. All of this is with only one of the PSU's connected.
It's listed on Craigslist and if I don't get any hits in week it'll go to the e-waste. Here are the specs before I sell:
- Dual Xeons
- 12 GB RAM
- DRAC
- PERC 5/i
- 2 x 80GB velociraptor in RAID 1
- 4 x 500GB Seagate in RAID 5
- Dual 750w PSU
- Dual Gb ethernet LOM
- Dual Gb ethernet PCI-E
