FS: FREE IBM eserver xSeries 235 P4 xeon server

I decided that I was going to build a home server as a “project” so I bid on a server on ebay without really knowing what I was getting into.
Since I hate to lose a bidding war I was relentless.
Well I won the auction but was not aware the server I bid on was so BIG (read the specs for dimensions and weight).
I really can’t use it.

I was going to return it but with the restocking fee and shipping it would be a waste of time so I am offering it up for FREE (plus shipping) to any member that can use it. I am warning you though the shipping could be expensive as this thing is BIG and HEAVY (specs say it is 48 lbs and 27 inches deep).
Also I really dont know much about these things so dont ask a bunch of technical questions.
I was going to use this as a learning experience. All I can really tell you about it is based on the specs below.
PM me if interested. I would love to find someone for a local pick up so that I don't have to try and lug it to the UPS store!

I know someone who might be interested in this, but it's a long drive (250mi). I'll PM you early next week if he is interested.

 

yea... i wish, shipping from where you are to where i am, is about 300 dollars

 

If anyone is interested in it and wants to check the shipping costs on it, the computer comes in a 36L X 24W X 12H box and weighs 48 lbs. It ships from zip 27909.
