I got this old server and I always like to fiddle with old hardware, so I took a lot of pictures and shared them on my blog with some explaination!

Feedback always appreciated ^^

Just out if curiosity, would this server be capable to handle some consistent workload, for today's standards?

Yes some, but the power consumption is extremely high. A cheap $40 PC with an i5-6500 CPU would out perform it at about 1/15th the power draw.

This thing is mostly just interesting to play with.

Well that's something I didn't expect. Thanks.
