HP Servers question

[Bill Hassell]

Unless you get free shipping, it will cost you a lot more to ship the H60 than it is worth. It will run 11.00 (assuming you have a few hundred megs of RAM). Parts will be cheap although the really small disk drives (1-4 Gb) may be hard to locate. The H60 is very slow compared to modern servers but as a central repository for documentation, perhaps a simple web server to collect info from other boxes might be useful. Don't even think of killing the H60 with Java or Xwindow apps.

The D-class can also be used in a similar role. Note that the H60 will draw a fair amount of power (and air conditioning) which for it's performance, may not be economical.
