Is this server any good?

[PortzJ]

Hey guys,

 

I do not know much about servers, but I have few questions on this server I may buy. It's HP ProLiant DL360 G4. I was thinking of using this for parts for other projects. Here are the specs..... 

HP ProLiant DL360 G4

CPU: Intel Xeon 3.0Ghz x 2

RAM: 2GB

HDDs: 146.8GB 10K RPM SCSI x 2

Network: 1Gbps x 2 Single Power

Here are my questions...

Is this even a good server from its time and how does it do these days?

Could I take the processors and use them in a regular desktop computers mother board?

Could I use the hard drives for a regular computer?

Is this thing worth $10?

Is there anything else valuable in this thing?

 

Thanks,

PortzJ

For $10 I'd take it to mess around with.

Not good and usefull. Its very old now and very power hungry. Think 200+ a year in power costs.

 

Can put anything here in a destop.

What type of Xeon?  The original?  Pentium 4?  Sandybridge?

[Windows7ge]

Going the the HPE website it doesn't even say what CPU it is just that it's Xeon. What's the actual model? Socket? Cores? Threads? It's uses either DDR or DDR2 memory so it's definitely not worth much but for $10 I'd take it to play with definitely.

It'll be good to mess around and learn about how to set up a server. But it wouldn't be powerful enough for the tasks of modern servers.

Or even a gaming rig if you threw a GPU in there...  If it even has PCIe.

Looking at the documentation for this thing, it wouldn't be good for any gaming outside of probably Windows XP gaming. This thing came shipped with SD RAM, not even DDR. Shows you the relative age of this thing.

Oh, so this thing isn't even Pentium 4.

A quick Wikipedia search shows that this code name Nocona was released at around 2005, pretty much when Pentium 4 was at its prime with the NetBurst microarchitecture.

its old. the g6 and up are worth it.

[Jay Deah]

Gen4 mostly ran single core 32bit processors. There was a dual core option but those are rare and just as dated.

 

skip it, it won’t even run 2008r2 or esxi4

 

gen5 introduced 64bit processors

 

gen6-gen8 are all old but run modern(ish) architectures so are compatible with most stuff

 

gen9-gen10 are current models
