ServersPlus Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 So you think that old server is worthless? Think again - HP are celebrating 20 years of their x-86 architecture by offering a free ProLiant G6 server to the school or business that has the oldest Compaq/HP SystemPro server still in operation! Take a look here - If you've still got one of these machines running, register it and see if you win a replacement! It would be pretty embarrasing for the government if one of you were to win this, but I know many of you have complained about the outdated systems you're running
lordasb Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 dam it only just giving an old one away to be used as a plasma tv stand...

mossj Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I found a HUGE black box in a cupboard, which turned out to be the first server the school had.... Not sure how old it was, but I found it next to a calculator that had pull levers and dials to set/calculate numbers.
