A hair-raising pun? (sorry... can't think of any puns).

Hey wait. but it tend to look at things with pure reasons and try my best not to get emotion in there,

There’s a difference between what you describe, and disregarding certain emotions altogether. 

 

Not allowing emotion to influence your decision is just that. To disregard emotion is to not feel them at all.

Bit more of an update into my teardown of the server (those memory modules are a pain to remove, so I'm not going to post a picture of the Xeons).

 

(Warning: fairly large album, mainly for @Strando123 since you like it so much )

Spoiler

One of the 7 hotplug fans

Yup, that's DDR (from what I can remember, 4GB worth)

Close-up of the memory banks

And of a module (mmm... ECC DDR goodness)

Part of the logic board (very imaginative company name, narrowly beaten by OCR Supermarkets which was in my computing exam).

And one of 4 SCSI drives

How much RAM is in that thing?  @ServerGuy

Apparently 10GB, if the startup log is anything to go by (when I fully "clean" it [no compressed air :/], I'll check Memory Bank 1).

What a beauty! (Remember to change the thermal compound! Its usualy dried and crusty on old machines!)

Erm, I would, but looking at the top panel, it seems as if the processor and the heatsink is one assembly...

 

Pre-posting edit: Yes. It is all one assembly.

Spoiler

It says so on the rear top cover:

The socket and processor (gotta love PGA!)

It is attached to the heatsink with some plastic clips and if the cracking sound the memory bays make when you pop them out... I don't want to break them (seems like these Xeons may be expensive!)

Impressive server there. Might see use as a file server.

Not with just over 146GB on SCSI it won't! It's also loud... like... really loud (almost like my main PC last year when it was air-frying itself because of Lenovo's ridiculous design!)

I'm going to fire it up tomorrow and start pulling fans, since I'm working on an overview of it for my new YouTube channel for my photography (basically, the Minecraft server I've grudgingly hosted for the past few years, some files and my website will all be transferred across onto something like Windows XP or Server 2003... Windows Server 2016 only supports x64 architecture).

Ehhh thats a bit concerning actually, i have had serveres from 2002 that actually died because og old thermal compound and 24/7 ooeration (cpu and socket had black/brown burn marks on them) And old xeons in matched pairs are pricy, my z600 has a set of matched x5679 xeons they fetch around 250-300$ (usd) if sold together but yo would struggle to get 100$ per cpu if you sold them separately. (usualy unmatched cpus are fine but some server programs/OS's require a matched pair to run as efficiently as possible)

A smartphone would probably make a better server.

I don't think an iPhone 3G would be better.
