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.
I mean it would work, but depends on the load, it can definitely host some website, be used as a backup server or something. I installed a modern version of proxmox and even plain debian on it, so it would definitely work. But performance would be poor for heavy task like a game server.
As for the consistency itself, the server would run 24/7 without an issue, and it’s still built like a tank and it has been made to be resilient!
Thanks
