Hey, I've been reading the forums for years but never got around to joining until now. w00t.
Anyway, the company my cousin works for just got rid of a bunch of old non/semi-functional computers and guess who picked them up? I got 5 in total, and with those 5 I got about 10 scsi wide 160 hdds, 3 controller cards, 5 mobos (all server and thus have all those fun extras like 8 ram slots and whatnot), etc. 4 didn't come with any ram, so I'm leaving those for another day, but one I DID get working was an old Dell Precision 620 (dual 1Ghz p3, 1.5GB RD800 ram, dual Atlas 36.7gb scsi hdd, etc). My question is this... supposing I can get the raid to work (0 or 0+1, depending on what the controller allows; its an adaptec ARO-1302 w/ 64 mb ram), should I find something productive to do with it or should I just sell it whole/parted out?
