Hi! It looks like you're considering selling or disposing of your HPE MSR2003 and DELL PowerEdge 2950. Since these are older models, it might be worth checking their current market value before deciding. You could explore online listings or contact local tech refurbishers to see if they’re still in demand. If they’re beyond repair, recycling them responsibly is a good option.
I use my ISP router along with a vintage HP LX197 media server that's running WHSv1 for my file storage tasks.
I own a Dell PowerEdge 2950 III. It was used for running Minecraft servers, a website, and forums.
Typically the servers are noisy and require a lot of power. Still, you can store them in your basement or closet and use them as a NAS, Plex server, fold it up and all the rest.
I've reached out to several businesses nearby asking about upgrades and receiving nothing so far. Even my workplace wouldn't share their old items.
When I was a child, roughly two decades ago, I roamed the manufacturing district of my village and approached any business I could find to see if they had any outdated computer parts. Eventually, I received a worn-out 8088 processor as a gift. Probably I exceeded my free allowance back then!
You have multiple servers available at no cost, but you must collect them yourself.
If you were in Finland, I might try it too. But I’d likely demand payment—free items from businesses are fine, but receiving them for free from others feels exploitative. Morality can be tricky, can’t it?
I previously resided in Denmark, though it's been a while. Unfortunately, sending something to you would be more expensive than the item itself... I’d definitely ask for a payment of no more than $5 for everything.
