Selling old renderslaves, no idea about price

[Amer]

I'm about to sell some old rendernodes, but i don't really know what to charge for them as I'm not that into hardware prices, and especially not old used hardware.

There are a total of 10 computers, all with these specs:

Case: 1U server case, rack mountable
Cpu: DUAL Intel Xeon HT 3068MHz, L2 512kb
Ram: 1024 MB DDR-SDRAM
chipset: Intel E7501
Harddrive: 80gb, ATA Maxtor 6Y080M0 (2 hot-swap drive bays)
netværk1: 1gbit, Intel PRO/1000 MT Network connection
netværk2: 100mbit, Intel PRO/100 S Server Adapter
graphic: ATI RAGE XL PCI onboard

So, any idea about a price?

Hey Thomas,

I have 12 of the exact same slaves you have except with 3GB each, i was looking at selling them in order to upgrade and was HORRIFIED at the prices offered so idecided to keep them for sentimental value

I was basically looking at $300-400 each (give or take), while they cost me around $5000 each when i bought them 5 years ago.

keep me posted on what you decide.

Hi Amer, They are currently on a danish auction site, price is up to 1700$ with 1 day to go so hopefully they will go higher

on the plus side, you'll be pretty close to being able to equal the render power of all ten with one of the latest 2x quad machines.
