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
Ancient? Okay, I’ll shut down the business.
Holy cow.
The first 380 with 64 bit support if i remember correctly
Looks pretty neat and tidy for such an old server. Have fun with it.
it’s a classic.
I love that! If you don’t pay my bills is not your problem how power hungry they run.
I have an ML370 G5 and getting it to run has been so fun.
People here are increasingly forgetting that it’s homeLAB not homePROD. A lab is for learning and experimentation, power efficiency isn’t really an issue as long as you’re learning something and having fun…
It is approaching winter in Northern hemisphere, so no better time I guess 🤣
I have one of those, still works!
These guys need a lot of juice.
DL380G4… Christ man, just a gen off from the old school Compaq Proliant 1850R
These are cool. Used to be the workhorses of the internet - and a lot of other things.
OP what o/s are you /will you run on it?
I have just got a Sun v60x that has a corrupt version of Debian Etch on it. What do you think I should put on it?
Love your style :)
“i dont care about power… Unless you pay my power bill…”
But, but think of the children and your carbon footprint and all those greenhouse gasses using all that power will create…that impacts everyone. Lol /S
I have an old Dell 29xx something tower…sitting in my garage circa early to mid 2000’s that is fully functional, loaded with drives… and currently serves as a stand for a box fan I have to circulate air during the summer when I’m working out there.
Copper in those heatsinks is worth more than the server
If you get just a black screen when booting it’s because that server won’t have uefi. You’ll have to track down an os that has bios boot.
Oh my this was their active sever in 2023 ? What OS was it running ? I played with these or Compaq G3 long long ago.
