Now that is a awesome server. I can not wait to see it up and running.

This will be awesome. I know that you will use it as a server (right?) but to me it looks like a fun late 90s gaming machine. But yes, looking forward to this restoration.

My back starts hurting upon seeing this machine :D

[StigDesign]

Looks so Cool :D Cant wait for next video :D

[kasunshashi]

It's a monster, can't wait to see it's first power up

[Red-hqvp]

can't wait to see what comes out of this

[cossasomi]

I can hear the whine of those drives from here lol
The quickest way for a guaranteed headache

I had one of those about 10 years ago, if I remember correctly, it used a different style of SCSI drive tray than what you currently have.

Wow, 360p60FPS? i've never seen that on youtube but actually like it, all the smoothness but still playable on a bad connection!

[modernandretrogaming]

Lovely machine, you can try Quake 3 in SMP there.

[dinosaurinvestigator]

This is so cool, its massive 🤓❤️ Does the case accept atx or matx motherboards? Would be cool to see a newer or even period correct builds with diff hardware

[RETROHardware]

I know deals like this. Only 25€, only 50 kilos, only 150dB 😎

Still have the Proliant 1600 ; but it is slowly turning into a future domain afternuke retro leftover unit - very unknown to the few visitors .. wondering what it is all about.

[brandonupchurch]

Still haven't been able to track down one of those 4-8 CPU bad boys yet.

[IkanGelamaKuning]

Could be xeon edition on some of these bad boy.

[HerrdesWindes]

This will get quite interesting to see, I'm curious what it will become.

[mikeschinkel-newclarity]

Sadly, my IT manager and CFO at the time bought one of those for my company for US$17, 000. It took six years to pay for them damn thing, and by the time we paid it off, it was worth almost nothing. 😩

[OneCosmic]

This looks nice. Swap the CPU's for the best models for the socket, upgrade the RAM and install Windows 10 on it?

[JonWhitton]

What year is it? Are the drives SCSI or SAS?

[medicman]

YouTube suggested something I am interested in for once!

me of the Pentium III server I got from college bins sadly I put in storage and the next year it was corroded to hell cus of a leak in the shipping container :( as was everything else
