Possible next find?
Hi guys.. Hope you all had a great weekend.. My Craigslist searcher
came up with the following ad and I've got a note in to the seller asking about specifics for the machine & external drive enclosure.. I'm thinking that this may be a good way to get a cheap drive enclosure of the UE variety (I think?) that won't cost me $50 to get shipped.. I'm not sure what the machine is, but it might be good for parts, but is much bigger than I need for what I've got.. Anyway, we'll see if its still available or not.. -- Rick http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/sys/180211584.html |

The extrenal drive thingy is a proliant Storage F1. Its FWS2, so it tops out at 20MB/s. Not the best performing kid on the block. Actually, I dont see anything in that deal that is too compelling. You could setup a hog of a linux server with it ... but beyond that, not much. Be prepared to spend some money on parts for that thing ... memory, addt'l CPU's and VRMS, etc .... - LC |

Not the best performing kid on the block. Darn.. Too bad (on the F1)).. I'm still waiting for a reply and will let you know if the owner claims differently.. I'm not really interested in the Proliant at all other than for use as a possible parts machine and not really much interest there either. Actually, I dont see anything in that deal that is too compelling. You could setup a hog of a linux server with it ... but beyond that, not much. Thanks for the comments.. -- Rick |
