Hi All.

Well this is it:
Poweredge
Pentium 3 dual processor 2 * 800MHz [so 1,6GHz] (yes slow)
256 MB RAM
6 * 18,6 SCSI[10.000rpm] hard drives
RAID 5 controler
Windows Server 2003
10Mbps line

How much do you think this could be rented out for per month?

How much would you actually pay for this a month?

I really would like to know,

thanks,

Guru

Good luck renting it out at all. Seems a bit older and P3 really wont assit you much in any way shape or form. Probably not the news you wanted but surely needed to be said. However you can always upgrade the processor and have a decent machine there.
 
I'd agree with about $50 is what I can sell P3's for. But they sell pretty easily for people with small budgets.
 
With 256mb, you are sitting on a white elephant be it dual processor or not.

Try running a Dual Xeon 3.0ghz on 256mb ram :)
 
I dont say it's slow at all. It's a bit out of date, but coming with RAID SCSI and dual CPUs (real dual, not HT). A good P3 with SCSI will easily win a low-end P4 box with IDE disks

I agree with the spces but the RAM is where the bottleneck is.

256k = 32 kB/s

There's no way they were getting "50 kb a sec" unless you really do mean kbps and not kBps. And if they were only getting 50kb (~6 kB) on a 256k line that's pretty sad. :lol:
 
WEll, i don't think putting it up for rent is going to be profitable. It'll costs more than 300 Euros just to get is hosted in a datacenter.... with not even a TB of bandwidth....

Anyone able to offer good colocation hosting in the Netherlands; Your offers are more than welcome!!!
 
will get in touch with you,

i also got two spare processors for it
1* 800MHz
1* 500MHz


Which would be the best way to get in touch with you?
