I've got a couple of those acting as video transcoding servers. Well I guess mine are R710s but same idea

Edit: Though one of these days I should upgrade the VM servers from the PE2950s :p

I am still running PE2950s too and I looked at them in the summer and said "meh, will give them another year". As long as they work there's no real reason to upgrade unless you need higher density or more memory per VM or some such. I'll probably replace mine in June, or I may look at them then and decide that I'll get another year out of them.

Noise isn't an issue since they are all located at the data center.
We pay a flat rate of $65 per year per 1U to the IT department and it covers everything. Doesn't matter whether that 1U draws zero power or 1kW.
 
No?

Not really. Sorry. :p My main lab has about 6 boxes bigger than that, and the CSL has a few PB of storage with a pile of 128G UCS blades.

Power hogs?? Heh you should see the rest of the systems in my server room the PE 2950s are the least of the worries. I don't care about the noise they are in a data center. Its loud no matter what.

at least all the staff know where to find you in the winter :)
 
Thing I love about servers, so small yet so much processing power. Looks sexy :)

My office tends to be about 5-10 degrees warmer than everybody else due to mainly to the Powermac G5 under my desk :p and the 5-6 other PC/Servers running in there at any given time.

I bet that sucker could heat your house :) those were heat machines, is it the dc 2.0 ? or water cooled version ?

I had one, but gave it away.. Became useless..

Its the DC 2.0 all it is is a script host. I also have a G4 Powermac Cube and 3-4 of the water cooled quad G5s

Yes we have way to much apple stuff. This is what I get for working for a bunch of graphics designers and Video Editors :p

Xeon E5 processors and their related "Patsburg" C600 chipset, that bandwidth is due to the integrated PCI-Express 3.0 peripheral controllers, LAN-on-motherboard adapters running at 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, and up to 24 memory slots in a two-socket configuration supporting up to 384GB using 16GB DDR3 memory sticks running at up to 1.6GHz.

Good to know that my hearing wasn't off when I was given the cursory specs.
