[H-GEN] Couple of old servers

[Rod Hurford]

Hi Everybody,

I'm looking for ideas/suggestions for uses for 2 old servers I have.

They are:
HP Netserver LH4 (2 CPU, 1 GB RAM, hot swap RAID with 6x 36GB HDD and 6x
18GB HDD) - its a massive monster, too heavy for 1 person to pick up even
if they could get their arms around it.
Dell Poweredge 6xxx (exact model escapes me at the moment) (2 CPU, 2GB RAM,
probably hot swappable raid with 1 HDD of unknown size + space for 2 more)

Both power on but the HP doesn't have an OS at the moment (has had Gentoo
and Red Hat in the past) and the Dell has an enterprise version of win2k
(and I don't have the password).
Both are noisy (just like servers always are) which is one of the reasons I
haven't wanted to use them

I've had these sitting doing nothing for a long time now, mostly because I
couldn't think of anything useful to do with them, but I can't bring myself
to just summarily toss them out (into the computer recycling bin at the
tip).

If anybody wants them they can have them.
Suggestions for uses welcomed.

Cheers
Rod
