My dumbass was gonna strip it for parts.
Curious what you industrious folks would do with it?
Similar except 4x2 TB https://www.ebay.com/itm/316549741700
Inb4 put Linux on it
Edit: well it booted earlier and now it doesn’t. 😵

Depends on the specs. If it’s really old the power consumption will cost more than you’d spend on newer hardware. I have such a box sitting at home doing nothing. It’s cheaper to rent a hetzner dedi.
For real. I got my hands on a fully loaded PowerEdge 2900 around 2017 and it added almost $100 to my monthly power bill.
But did your winter heating bill go down? Asking for a friend.
Same. For most people in our space, a Dell Optiplex micro is more than enough horsepower (except few expansion ports). There’s no reason to be running a legacy server consuming 2.5kW just to host some movies or store your camera footage.
My thoughts too. I already have the Dell optiplex with external hard drive bays.
Overkill is overkill especially when it has a cost for power and your room sounds like a fucking aircraft hangar
