Purchase of the Itanic

So this asset collection dude on ebay has been selling these HP RX2600 servers for a while on ebay, with 10GB of ram each which is a pretty snazzy deal if you know what I mean. Anyway this other guy has a ZX6000 which is the workstation version, unopened, in another auction and I bid on that but was like 'nahh I won't bid any more' and that would have been $260 at the price I bid it up to but then I bid on this RX seeing as the rest had gone for around $300 before this. So I put in 255.25 seeing as that was the next highest I could put (255) and I win it!!! WTF?!?! I was like aaaauuuuuughhhhh.

I hate unintentional purchases, gah, they suck my bank account dry ahahahaha.

Anyway it's got 2 1.5GHz Itanium2 processors with 10GB ram, no hard drives but 2 of the sleds so I'm good there. I can probably stick the cd-rom from my compaq into it I'd think...whatever it has a scsi port on it.

So anyway I'm waiting for that to arrive...should be interesting.
