blade servers

[OldDeadOne]

Anyone running blade servers? I have a old Dell poweredge 2450 that I'm going to be basically throwing away soon(or play with my welder with ). I've seen videos of those newer dell blades that are so much smaller and lighter and can fit 10 to a chassis that could be used as a standalone or with a dell rack. I think my dual PIII 600mhz 2450 has outlived it's usefullness(haven't used it for a few years,just sitting there lol)

i have interest in this blade..... how much does it weigh in for shipping?

My poweredge(more like a server) was not a blade and it's already been carted off(huge and heavy and was over 10 years old),the newer blades that I've seen on youtube like the 1855 might be something I might get in the future.My wife hated that poweredge since it took up so much room lol

looking at google images of this 2450, it does look pretty damn big

Yea it wasn't worth it to keep anymore I ran freebsd on it and it did ok,but huge and a pain in the butt to even haul around,I still love dell servers and as they keep making those blades even smaller in size it's going to be a nice benefit to me and avoid my wife's iron skillet as well
