Server is free to anyone who wants to come to Newtonhill to collect it. If nobody does in two-three weeks it's going to the recycling centre.

Right now it doesn't power on. I suspect that is has a Blown PSU. I went to fire it up one day from fully off, it spun up for about half a second then shut off entirely. I suspect a blown capacitor or something like that inside the PSU.

If you don't know what you're doing, do not attempt to repair a blown PSU. You will probably electrocute yourself or burn your house down in the process.

CPU is AMD Turion II Processor Model Neo N54L (2.20 GHz, 15W, 2MB).
RAM: ECC (Unknown Quantity).
NIC: 1x Onboard Gigabit

Includes three of the four hard drive caddies and the front door key. There is a lockable 5.25" bay in the top, which is locked and does not have a key. But it is a generic key you can buy online.

It makes a nice little NAS or simple test / development webserver / database server. Although there is an ESXI image that works on it, I highly don't recommend it. It's not powerful enough.
