Ended getting two systems and a dead motherboard (not shown) from my uni, the first system is an HP XW4000 Workstation without the PSU which have an interesting videocard, a Matrox Parhellia-512 AGP, can't test the xw4000 because of propietary PSU missing, second system is an usual i865G mATX system. I can confirm both the Parhelia and the Geforce 4 MX4000 cards works
Specs:
XW4000
Pentium 4 2.66 ghz Northwood with propietary cooler
HP XW4000 motherboard
no RAM
Matrox Parhellia-512 128 MB
Maxtor 40 GB
Custom P4 system
Pentium 4 HT 2.8E Ghz Prescott with an all copper socket 478 cooler
Gigabyte GA-8IG1000MF
no RAM
Geforce 4 MX4000 (Gigabyte GV-N40128TE)
Samsung 80 GB SATA HDD
InWin 240 watt PSUIs that HP a twin 6 pin? Adapters are like 3 dollars on eBay. More than worth it for a working workstation IMO.
Why did they take nothing but the RAM though? AFAIK RAM is usually the least valuable part in the PC. Probably doubly so for the workstation as I bet it accepts ECC memory which is always a fraction of the price of normal ram due to it constantly being mass retired from server farns.
Actually 24 pin Compaq + 4 pin
About the RAM, is werid, most people here take out the RAM instead of the HDD, the HP XW4000 ineeded supports ECC RAM since the Intel 845 (the original one, not the E and PE versions) supports ECC
