Got this server for free, so I talked about it on my blog !
Do you guy have any ideas on what I could run or install on this thing ? (For fun of course, nothing serious!)
I made a blog post about an old IBM server!

I can hear that thing from here. We had so many of these damn things in the IBM lab I worked in. They got super hot too. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I weep for your power bill, lol.

Oh... you just remind me that I forgot to put thermal paste back on it.. (the server is actually on right know)
And it's not for 24/7 use, no worries for my bill ahah!

Put it in storage until 2054? It is still young enough to be recent history.
I think it would be cool to figure out how to preserve the hardware. If you can figure that out you could make a time capsule and then bury it.

True, I hope i will be able to do that over the years!

So turns out intel never had a good naming scheme xD
… also 4G of memory, still more than my Pi4
