Help- Electronix Indy 2600

Fiber channel will not be cheap to get started with. Unless you're willing to put a couple of hundred bucks into this project, you're better off looking for something else. For about the same price you can buy an external sata enclosure that will be easier to get parts for and cheaper to upgrade from.
 
ok so i got more info on it. the ports are scsi ports... can't believe i didnt recognize them off the bat :( and way, the student who was using this server has graduated and couldn't bring it back with him so he left it. i got some power cables and all three power supply units power on. there are 12 bays remaining, I don't know what happened to the other 4. as far as i know the guy told me it was working fine. but its big and heavy as hell so i'm probably gonna just sell it since i really don't have a need that justifies something of this caliber. i'll post it up here FS
 
Can anyone help me put a price on this server? I'm trying to sell it here on [H]. Anyone interested?
 
Yeah, sorry I missed that---the site you linked says it's FC, but it's actually plain 68-pin SCSI.

Only u160, only IDE disks, and the raid controller is only a 303. I wouldn't expect to get all that much from it. On the other hand, it is rack mountable, and it does have a fairly decent feature set. Maybe in the neighborhood of a grand if you can find a business that wants a reliable piece of kit for cheap?
 
Ah... yea I missed that. It is IDE and has 3 SCSI ports on the back.
It also only has 12 of the 16 bays there.

Would I get more by parting out the bays, psu's, and fans?
electronix.com says each:

--psu is $300 new
--fan is $100 new
--drive bay is $40 new
 
ok i'll probably do that too. i already updated my FS thread in case anyone wants it here.
