Anyone interested in a server?

This past fall my roomate and I picked up a section of a UNIX fileserver that I believe to be a piece of my CS department's array of project space. They upgraded some components and this section (which retails for around $3500) wasn't needed. The only catch was that it weighed 100lbs and we had to carry it back to our dorm a mile and a half away (up a couple flights of stairs). I'm no real Hardware guy and my roomate and i decided we really couldn't make much use of it (although we didn't really try). I honestly just want to get rid of the thing, but i'd like something for it. The HDDs alone were selling on ebay for $150 to $300 and there's 9 of them total.

So, here are the specs of what I have and links to online resources i've found to get the thing up and running:

DPE - FC5400 DPE MODULE
Part Number 005045189
MFG EMC/DELL

LCC - CLARiiON Link Control Card (LCC)
Part Number 005042859
MFG EMC

Hard Drive enclosure unit.
Part Number 005043551
MFG EMC

36GB 10k RPM SCSI HDD
Part Number 005046732

18GB 10k RPM SCSI HDD
Part Number 005045932

There are a total of 9 10,000RPM SCSI hotswap drives on here (4 18GB and 5 36GB) and I have 2GB of buffered ECC RAM kicking around for it as well. The information I had on those seems to have vanished in the cleaning of my laptop, so i'll make sure to copy it down again for later.

Edit - finally wrote the #s down

A site set up by someone who owns an EMC CLARiiON FC5400
All of Dell's documentation for the system

If anyone's interested in such a piece of equipment or has any questions, feel free to PM me with them.

Again, i'm trying to sell this thing, so i'm only going to accept serious bids. Thanks everyone. Hopefully this behemouth can find a new home.

A I really need to get rid of the thing, i'm willing to donate it to a worthy cause. (although i'd still accept any pity money i could get since i'm trying to scrounge up enough to afford an editing box - i'm stuck with an old Dell Laptop at the moment).

Anybody up for it? Anybody?

Did I hear donate?

It's pry not a worthy cause, but the two servers running my website both pooped out :|

Check the specs. And realize this thing Has a total of like 200GB or so of HDD space and no ethernet ports on it (though it has a few PCI slots) and weighs close to 100lbs.

Pull the parts and sell them on E-Bay. The most likely way you will make money on it.
Where did you say I'm going?.... And what am I doing in a handbasket?

My roomate actually tried that before giving the server to me. He even started the acutions 50% below the other people selling the same things and didn't get a single bid. :lol:
