I just won a lot of server and networking gear, and there's some old stuff I don't want.

Dell R710
Dell R810
2x Dell 6224P switches
Other misc small switches
Crappy Vevor 12u rack

I'd be trashing it all (maybe not the 6224P's), so if someone wants to come take it all, you can have it. Picking up from Chalmette on Monday AM, so can meet around NOLA then, or you can come pick up from BR anytime after

I may be interested in one of the servers.

Do you know the specs on them?

If you still have it in BR mid to late next week I can maybe swing by and take it off your hands.

About the o lay think I’d be interested in is the switches, my current HP Layer 3 switches have shitty loud fans that don’t ramp up and down.

Myself I'll probably add them to the stack of 8 pallets of machines I bought for $100 at auction a while back.

Every now and then I find a use for some of it, or sell something, or give stuff away.

What it comes down to is I have about 15k sqft of what is basically idle warehouse space, so I just use it to take stuff off peoples' hands until it goes into other peoples' hands.

This lot had a Dell R530 and some UPS's that need replacement batteries that I wanted. I have no need for any of the other stuff, especially those archaic servers

Add them to my homelab collection.... I'm also on the hunt for another 42U cabinet.... my existing one has been full for 6 months.

Some of it I loan out (via remote access) to friends and folks at work for various projects. Some for 'continuing education' for the Mrs., my son, and I....and others is for screwing around.

Here is the most recent pile of shite that I bought for $100. I have indicated where your pile of shite will go should I end up with it.

I don't need first dibs, I won't be able to pick up until late next week. If you can offload before then, feel free.
