[Cialug] Wanted: Used Rackmount Server

[Matt Breitbach]

Well, looked at the system, and it's not Virtualization capable, and it's a
2.8ghz system, not 3.2.  Dual Xeon 2800DP processors (SL48B) at 2.8ghz, 4GB
RAM.  I did find some rack rails that would likely work for the system.
They aren't integrated rails, they're more like a shelf, but it'd definitely
keep it in the rack. $125 OBO with 2x Seagate Barracuda ES.2 500GB SATA
drives.

Lemme know if there's any interest, otherwise I'll throw it on Craigslist,
kinda need it out of the house, it's just taking up space now.

That sounds really awesome up until "no rack rails".  Those little
sticks of metal are surprisingly expensive. :/

I'm really quite tempted, but I think I'm going to have to pass on the
some assembly required stuff this time around.  Thanks for the offer,
though!
