We have the following server that we're not needing anymore:

$400 + shipping.

Shipping is around $50 anywhere in the US. Local pick up is also available.

    Highly recommended (speaking from first-hand experience)

  • PhilNDPhilND Member

    Power Draw on these is close to 2A right?

  • SpencerSpencer Member

    Where in the USA is it avail for local pickup?

  • FranciscoFrancisco Top Host, Host Rep, Veteran

    I can get an amp meter on it but it's like 1.6 - 1.8.

    @FTN_Kevin - Thanks, any chance you got yours on a socket with monitoring?

    Yes, it is 2Amps

    Unfortunately I do not, I have metered PDUMH20 is all, so in order to get the exact draw I'd have to power cycle it.

    (Sigh) This gadget is well over $800 in my town. Sadly there is no way I can get it shipped here.

    Its honestly a great value, considering they include risers and rails, and are in good condition.

    Even on eBay it will run you at least $600-700 for this spec for a used server.

    Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about and just sucking up.

    Not sure what he'd be sucking up over, he already has one of the boxes and seems pretty happy :)

    The boxes can be had for about $600 w/ drives but normally w/o rails. Rails are normally $50+ alone.

    Nope :)

    Here are some pictures Ethan took directly when he was at the QuadraNet datacenter setting the server up, would you like me to show you the paid invoice? :3

    In fact you want a VPS on this server in Los Angeles?

    I don't doubt you. Im just saying you can get them for cheaper. But its not a trusted like buying from buyvm.

    I dunno... I couldn't find anything with 4x drives with rails with these same specs for lower than $500 elsewhere.

    The last one I saw on eBay had a better CPU, same amount of RAM, but had NO hard drives at all... and went for $600 each.

    It's more the rails, drives & risers. The riser is a $20 - $30 part as well and few include it. The rails are upwards of $50 too. Some people use half depth servers and just 'hang' them off the mounting bolts but yeaaaaa that's a terrible idea.

    @PytoHost said: If you own a hosting company it is a good idea to not badmouth other ones. It will come back to bite you.

    Just pointing that out... <_<

    Didn't say anything bad about the company ;)

    I suppose it will be too expensive to ship it to Montreal.

    not that much more.

    The biggest issue would be customs :(

    I don't think they want to store the L5420 Replacement parts, Nor even use 500GB Hard Drives anymore. In another thread I see that they only use 1TB / 2TB.

    @liam said: @francisco Do you guys have any space in you rack to host this, if so how much would you charge per month (after bought)? I may be interested but would have no wehre to ship it too right away.

    I don't have anywhere to rack it since we're pretty tight on power. A lot of our business plan wraps around our $/AMP ratio and colocation just doesn't work.

    QuadraNET has some affordable prices at around $200/m for 2A w/ 100mbit unmetered. You could talk to @FTN_Kevin to see if he'll introduce you to his sales rep or anything like that.

    Thanks for the interest,

    I might be interested, need to think about it a bit more, but I'll get back to you.

  • FranciscoFrancisco Top Host, Host Rep, Veteran

    Egi is doing 2amps and 10mbit unmetered for 130/m for anyone interested.

  • FranciscoFrancisco Top Host, Host Rep, Veteran

    This server is reserved, pending payment.

  • FranciscoFrancisco Top Host, Host Rep, Veteran

    And gone.

    Thanks everyone for the interest

  • FranciscoFrancisco Top Host, Host Rep, Veteran

    Looks like we got another one of these.

    Same price, same location.
