Great, so now you have sudden system shutdowns because of overheating CPUs. Good luck with that.

No suprise. Almost same weight as the Unisys Aquanta (ALR 6x6) i got from overseas earlier this year. Shipping cost was insaine 😵
@errius
you are completely correct. DO NOT BUY SERVER HARDWARE!!! It's all worthless, nobody should buy that trash.
@scrapholder
totally worth that shipping though.
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Yes now the pain is gone. It could been worse, but sending it over the Atlantic by ship got the price down. My seemed to be the second last in stock the seller had, and the last one also went to a Vogoner in Europe.
The Compaq Proliant 8500 would be nice to have since its an 8 way system, but totally usesless as many other things i have.
You guys have racks to hang these things on?

Most of my older Compaq servers are tower models, but have rack conversion kits to them also. Anyway none are used at the moment and probably not ever for a long time, so a rack isnt needed.
I could have got some ex-office racks from a family friend a while ago but had to say no. Not just lack of space, I was also worried about floor weight distribution, since I'd have to mount them in an upstairs room. I assume folks with these things put them in basements?

You could always just stack the servers on top of etch other, not the best for cooling or management, but whatever.

Was gonna say, don't be silly, its over in the USA... You've already shot down that argument! 🤣
Was a Proliant 6000 the UK selling for almost nothing few years back I was seriously considering, But lack of space, transport costs, and practical use (but mainly the space) stopped me

This works for me, I figure its pretty close to the amount of airflow they get in a rack just as long as the front and back of the servers have good airflow.
I've recently picked up 4 Dell PowerEdge R210's which I've stacked vertically, Reverse Rack mount style I figure.
None of these servers are on very often and rarely more then 2 at once
Once I settle down somewhere long term I'll probably grab a 1/2 height rack 2nd hand, one of the positive things about everyone going cloud is a lot of server rooms are getting cleared out making it bit of a buyers market, Aint that right Luckybob 😉
I want a rack now just so I can have a funky slide out console...

That and somewhere to put a Quantum Obsidian Mercury Heavy Metal when I find one.
Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
