We went to Denver last week to empty out the server cabinets. It was a whirlwind trip: lots of driving, disassembly of the servers, dinner with the kids and grand kids, then lots more driving back home the next day.
Our half-height server cabinet was wrapped in plastic when it was stored in the barn nine years ago. It almost perfectly accommodated the servers with only one U slot left over.
It makes a nice trophy but I do not plan to add the 10kw of power to the barn that would be needed to turn them all on. That would only be the beginning as HVAC would be needed and and and... Maybe it will find a new home some day but that's not likely.
Nothing has been plugged in yet because the barn is a total disaster at the moment. Lumber is stacked and piled everywhere for a fencing project. Paula and I finally finished staining all the boards yesterday. That was a ton of work, hundreds of boards, scores of heavy 6x6 posts, gallons of wood stain. The server got parked where it wasn't in the way and there it sits until the din subsides to the usual dull roar.
