6 servers were decomissioned, Iwas able to only get the disks, RAM, CPUs and Network Card.
The total of this is :
88 x 8TB SAS disks
44 x 16GB RAM sticks (half 2133, half 2400)
6 x v3 Xeon e3 2630
6 x v4 Xeon e5 2640
3 x 10 GB PCIe dual port cards
12 x 1U heatsink
I’m really lucky to have all of these, even if I don’t have a use for all of that for now (except some of the disks)
EDIT: Forgot to mention: All of this for free, I work in a datacenter!

Hard to tell if this is a proposal to fight over hardware or an offer for free stuff.
I choose to believe the former because it makes me chuckle more.
Let’s just make an arena where the nerds fight to win a disk!
“Ugh, now they’re both crying…” Covers microphone “Someone hit somebody! God, in my 13 years of UFC announcing, I’ve never been more embarrassed…”
“What is this one doing??? Is he… what’s this weird Arch logo on his laptop”
That’s the moment where the fighters and the crowd attack and eat the announcer
Where are you located? I’m in need of some new backup drives and would be happy to pay a reasonable price + shipping if you’re interested.
I’m in France, however I’ll not sell them immediately, maybe you could check serverpartsdeals to get some cheap refurbished drives
I happen to be in France this summer :P
But I should probably get my backup server set up before that…
Hope you have fun with those drives!
