Flea market find Shoretel UC Server

[Jstolfi]

I went to the flea market yesterday and found a Shoretel uc server 20 revision 2 for $5. The seller reported that it came from an office and was used in a phone system. He reported that the other components all sold and that’s why he let me have the server for $5. I noticed the product key on the back for windows server 2012 and figured that alone might allow me to recoup the small investment. I was wondering if this thing can run Ubuntu server? Some friends of mine have been wanting to make a quake server and this might be an affordable way to get that done

I wouldn't bother, looking it up it's not going to upgradable and has embedded Windows Server 2008 on it with 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a Celeron E3400 dual core. Even IF you could get a different OS on there it's going to be really bogged down for any type of actual server or game server work.

So basically this thing is useless?

yea it could do great as a paper weight or a door stopper though.
