How Much Would I Get for a Dell 2950?

[QFA350]

Gday folks!

I have a used Dell 2950 server that I got from a friends workplace. I want to sell it to earn money for an upcoming build of mine.

How much would I be looking at recievieng for this unit?

Here are the specs.

• 2x Quad Core Intel Xeons (5320)
• 32GB DDR2 ECC
• 4x 750GB SATA drives
• Dell DRAC
• External SAS card
• 2x redundant PSU's
• Intel X520 10GB NIC

 

This is Australian dollars on EBay.

Thanks!

Holy sh*t my heart sank right there! I thought a mod gave me a warning or something!

I'd give it $300 USD considering the server is so old.

About $150 USD. That's the price I picked up a similar spec'd model for running an SQL database + Nginx.

lol I was thinking the same. Servers seem to lose value so fast!

This is actually more accurate, as you can get an r610 with the same or better specs for 300.

The external SAS controller plus the 10Gb NIC might get it closer to $175-200 USD on the high end.

 

My server has the X5355 chips in them . And pretty much the same config as the OP sans the external SAS controller.
