Well, i was given as stated in the topic, a rack mount server chassis by HP. It was in the giveaway section of the used Edmonton website Used Edmonton and i decided to take it and give it a new home. Well, i found out the hard way that it is over 80lbs and is very big and bulky. So, off i went with a friend of mine and we ventured out to get it. Once we got there, i saw how big it was. I wished at the time we had a truck, but instead, we strapped it to the top of the car. Thank god the roof didn't cave. Driving home was a different story. The Oilers had just beaten Anaheim in hockey. Great, driving home with a heavy item on the roof of my car, dealing with crazy people honking their horns and police everywhere. Well, after getting it home, i cleaned it up, dismantled it so i could get it in the house and here are the pics of the progress of rebuilding it. I have contacted HP for any info regarding this chassis, so hopefully they get a hold of me soon.

Lol,
I feel a brace of xserves coming on! You could start your own server farm with that! Actually it looks in pretty good nick. I see a good future in website hosting, now where's that copy of OS X server.
Steve.
