obix are you willing to ship the server to Ohio? and how many CPU cards does it have ?


Sure, I'm willing to package it up and ship it if you're up for the shipping cost. I'm not sure what method would be best, probably some sort of ground? You all have far more experience with shipping I'm sure.

I'll check on the CPU(s) today, I know it has at least one if that's helpful :D . The challenge atm is to get a driver for the RAID controller, that was the bigger obstacle I was coming up against yesterday.
Type: IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Streaming-RAID Adapter/A
FWver: 2.21
I even tried a WinNT Small BackOffice Server install but it really wants the support for the SCSI and RAID in first...

P.S. - I was reading the posts on the PM situation, how frustrating when useful tools get abused. I'm wondering if there's a way to start a "Trusted/Privileged" group that a member can be added to just to add that ability, or have private conversation just within that group?

That might be the cards driver.

If you give me your zip I can get a rough idea of the shipping cost, or at least for the label. If shipping is not outrageous and it has at least 2 CPUs cards I'll shoot you an offer. If my offer is to low or shipping is crazy high I know someone who would also likely buy it and I can give you his info.
