At work I have old Compaq ProLiant ML350G1 server for scrapping, do you think it worth saving it?
No AGP, only 32 and 64bit PCI slots and one ISA, here are some quick specs:

Sure, it's worth it for the case alone.
A-Trend ATC-1020 V1.1 ❇ Cyrix 6x86 150+ @ 120MHz ❇ 32MiB EDO RAM (8MiBx4) ❇ A-Trend S3 Trio64V2 2MiB
Aztech Pro16 II-3D PnP ❇ 8.4GiB Quantum Fireball ❇ Win95 OSR2 Plus!
Isnt that a dual Pentium 3 ? I really like early multiprocessor computers that are still usable because the super specific mainboard is still in the original case 😉
For me it would be a shame to not save the whole system ... even if its a little bit on the chonky side...

Sure, install lightweight Linux distributions on it.

Yes, dual P3, still in the case (really big case), I have all other parts stored.
I've got one of these sitting around that I've been meaning to unload but it is just so heavy if I were to sell and have to ship it. Mine is missing the door that covers the drive bays though. I live near Philly if anyone wants to take it away.

Philly Burbs.
I was on the lookout for something like this! Early servers are getting rare and wanted one for a NT4 Server build. Dual CPU, SCSI,
I'm not alone inside the retro computer community is an even smaller retro enterprise level group. I would advertise it on ebay/Facebook as collection only, if no one wants it you could try giving it away or part it out, I had good luck with selling just server parts, It would be a shame to part out something like this but at least the parts will live on.
Yes worth saving ! detritus if I lived closer than 1000+ miles I would take it. If you sell it at the least try to keep the case, motherboard and psu as one unit if you decide to keep the stored parts.
Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
Case is really big problem to keep 😀
Yes its worth saving.
List it on ebay. Dont just scrap it. Most of them were stripped for parts then the parts went to land fill when the ebayers realised all the owners did the same.
