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

The mix and match of 36.4 GB and 72.8 GB drives/carriers concerns me, traditionally a G4 server should be one or the other. The mix and match of Disk-1 and Disk-5 being different from the rest means either improperly labeled drives or someone has utterly lost their mind.

I also have to wonder regarding the absence of any 18.2 GB drives, though...a pair of those are *supposed* to be RAID 1 for the OS.

(I may have some unfortunate memories from this particular version...I think this was the last of the 32 bit servers from HP, and I hated it from the very bottom of my heart.)

DL370 G6 I believe I have. It's currently running my home automation. Swapped the fans for a custom setup and tricked the ILO with an esp 8266.

Works like a dream. Cost...nothing ✨ My favourite number 😎

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 :)

Eh, I have a G8 and honestly it’s not cutting it anymore, it’s been relegated to EVE-NG on demand and otherwise sits powered off. Can’t imagine what use a G4 would be other than to increase the electricity bill.

Ancient? Okay, I'll shut down the business.

Holy cow.
