Channels for offloading old equipment

[CAWJames]

Afternoon all,

 

As mentioned in my post about our new Hyper-v setup, I have found myself with a small heap of very expensive(well when it was new!), still working equipment that will just take up room in our warehouse, so apart from me running a 21TB SAN in my garage, what channels are there out there for monetising older equipment which is too good to recycle?

 

Currently we have:

 

Equalogic PS6100x with a full compliment of 900GB drives for 21TB RAW(5 years old)

 

2 x Dell 720's with 128GB of RAM and dual E5620's, some local storage, 4 x 600GB and 2 x 140GB, couple of extra 1GBe quad port card, one is iSCI skewed.

 

Dell 2950 with dual E5420, 8GB of RAM and some local storage(2x300GB and 2 x 160GB), and an MD1000 drive-shelf with around 14TB of storage(4x2TB and 6 x 1TB)

 

As you can imagine, there is no way I'm sending this to landfill or to a recycler who will think all his weekends have come at once!

 

Any tips? (or offers!)

 

Thanks

 

James

It all sounds great but lets face - it its all worthless, I'll give you £200 for the lot and collect by lunch tomorrow?

 

I'm awful - I've never had any equipment quite that good to get rid of but tend to store things because I couldn't bare to see it go for scrap/minimal value let alone have some recycler collect it for free. I've still got a box of 40gb ide drives somewhere... just incase!
