I see some of the servers Seti@Home is using and was just curious, does anyone need these? They are just sitting in my datacenter taking up space!

They all have roughly the same specs as this one. (https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=8221854)

I was able to donate 14 of these to a local community college for labs, but I still have 18 left.

4 built in nics with an additional 4 via network card
FC card with 2 SFP's already in them
x2 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5645 @ 2.40GHz [Family 6 Model 44 Stepping 2]
100-128 gigs of ram

It feels like such a waste just having these sit on the floor, so I racked 4 of them for now and they are crunching away.

- if they are anything like the one I have sitting around here they are a custom motherboard.

(I must get that beast back up and running one day, trouble is it is so noisy I'd have to find somewhere other than near my office to locate it....)

24 cores is sweet but it would cost me $800 in gas to get there

Well the 7 hour CPU runtimes shows their performance, Could you try one without hypertheading?

As I see it, with 2 PCIe Extenders it would make a good feeder for 2 GPU's if you run top-off and a second PSU for GPUs. Then caseless would need CPU coolers for a pieced together abortion. Would be quieter without the front fans, but the PSUs would still be loud, but suitable for Wiggo's back shed :)

Or about $800 CAD for me to get a board, PSU, case, and CPU coolers. I hate to see good hardware good to waste ... so what would you want for these? HD included?

As is, it could take a couple of my R7-240's or larger single slot cards, but that's a pretty low performance/noise/watt ratio.

BTW do you know how many watts they pull? Chips are 80W * 2, I'm curious what the rest running is.

I know what my DL360 G5 takes, about 500W, full load. Also very loud

Also chips will be pulling maximum since well, HP's power settings aren't that optimised and the controls are on the motherboard

On Monday day I can log into my PDU's and get a live reading. Im assuming roughly 4-500 for power

I had a Dell server with dual E5645's. Running 24 tasks at once the power draw was only ~300w.
Which is a bit more than my dual E5-2670 system running 32 tasks at once with a power draw of ~250w.

It is frustrating when perfectly good older hardware can't find a good use. I have a pretty nice dual X5470 system with 32GB & dual SAS controllers that I don't use because sitting at idle it draws ~200w.

I was just curious if anyone needed them. I guess I can try and donate the rest of them to another community college.

Back in 2010/11 my company was installing new systems, using the DL 360

Lost count of the number I installed.

I liked them, and would gladly take one, slight problem, it's called the Atlantic Ocean :-)
