What do you think about Dell PowerEdge 2650 servers?

    I think they're quite old (power-hungry single-core processors, DDR ram, and no SATA/SAS capability) and you'd be better off looking elsewhere for a server.

    I think it has bad power but a nice edge. Sorry I just don't know therefore I posted that ridiculous comment. I'll show myself out.

    Get a PE 1950 instead. You can pick them up for under $200 on eBay all day long. If the 2650 is anything like the 2800 series (or worse) it's not worth your time. We had a 1850 (1U version of the 2850) and the NICs (GigE) couldn't push more than 500Mbps.

    I have around 20 of them in my day job and I'm thinking what to do with them - support guys bought them 25eur each :D for sure I'm going to setup Subversion cluster (so 4 of them are out) - I need to check CPUs for VT so maybe it will be possible to run some experimental VMs using QEMU (like Debian on PowerPC) :D any other ideas?

    If you pay for power then you probably don't want one...

    Don't you pay your power bill?

  • He doesn't.

    @Jack - I'm sorry but they are owned by the company and I'm unable to sell them
