1U Server AMD Dual Opteron 8GB - Home NAS or personal Cloud? - $150 in Hamilton, Ontario for sale

n great condition, this 1U rack mount (rackmount) server has been installed in a climate controlled data centre its' entire life. Looks and runs like new.

The server is a Tyan Transport GX-28. The motherboard supports up to 2 AMD Opteron single or dual core CPUs and up to 16GB ECC memory (8GB per CPU). Two ethernet ports (gigabit) and ATI Rage graphics built in. USB front and back, and a slim CD-ROM drive (could probably be replaced with slim DVD if needed).

Comes with 1 AMD Opteron 244 1.8GHz CPu and 8GB ECC memory. Also comes with an additional 8GB ECC memory (used/untested). The 4 hot swap SATA bays are empty (**** DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY HARD DRIVES ****) - the hard drive trays/carriers are included.

Also includes manuals, original hardware extras and heat sink for second CPU.

This would make a great home based RAID / NAS network storage device with FreeNAS installed (http://www.freenas.org/) or your own personal cloud storage with OwnCloud (http://owncloud.org/) or SparkleShare (http://sparkleshare.org/) accessible from anywhere. (I could do this for you at an additional cost.)
