I was given a GSA! Flashed with non-Google firmware and maxed out in RAM (154GB?)
I have no idea what to do with it.

Oh man that would be awesome to have just the hardware alone is worth decent money.

Really? I assumed they’re old and huge and heavy and not worth anything hahaha. He was gonna recycle it but asked if I wanted to have it. I bought a bunch of 2.5” SAS drives, but I honestly don’t know what I’m doing with it. I should have a friend over to help me get it set up.

At the very least, keep it and in a few decades that will be an impressive piece of history that you will own!

No I’m not 100% sure exactly what OS they’re running or the specs on them but 154 gigs of RAM itself on a blade server itself is worth something. If you can I would throw a couple of instances of Linux on it you could use it as possibly a Plex server or something else like that.

Looks like a standard pizza box server. Blades are something else.

No OS on it right now! It has a USB drive to boot from and maybe ten or twelve SAS slides. Two quad-core Xeon processors of some sort, and two PSUs.
