Does anyone buy server hardware? Or good for any other school?

Following a recent server refresh we now have a HP C7000 chassis with 12 HP BL465/BL460 G6 blades "spare". We'd rather not completely dispose of this setup due to the sheer amount it cost in the first place and we'd like to try and recoup some of the money back to spend on new projects. I've already contacted one company I know of who seemed keen to purchase and then changed their mind over the weekend. (I think my housemates would complain if I took it home and added it to the home lab...)

 

Here's what we've got.

 

1x C7000 G2

HP BLc7000 1 PH 2 PSU 4 Fan Full ICE Kit 1

HP BLc7000 Encl Mgmt Module Option 1

HP BLc Encl Single Fan Option 6

HP B-Series 8/12c SAN Switch BladeSystem c-Class 2

HP ProCurve 6120G/XG Blade Switch 4

HP 4Gb SW B-series FC SFP 4

 

4x BL465c G6 2 CPU 64GB RAM Emulex Lpe1105-HP 4GB Module NC364 Quad-Port 1GB Module

1x BL460c G6 2 CPU 6GB RAM

2x BL460c G6 1 CPU 6GB RAM

3x BL460c G6 1 CPU 6GB RAM Emulex Lpe1105-HP 4GB Module

2x BL460c G6 2 CPU 8GB RAM

1x BL460c G6 1 CPU 2GB RAM

 

1x MSA 2000

2x MSA 2000 Drive Bays

 

All have been stored in a locked, air-con'd server room for the past four years. They have performed excellently.
