    Price check: a couple of home servers

    I'm considering trimming down on the amount of metal I have by my desk, and as such I'm pondering if it's worthwhile flogging the following (ie: how much am I likely to be able to put towards a shiny new thing). Any ideas for the below?

    HP ML115 G5 with 8Gb RAM
    ML N36L with 16Gb RAM
    Netgear GS108E switch

    I've an assortment of disks I can throw into the servers, but I expect people are likely to be most interested in the actual boxes.

    I forget in all honesty, and it's powered off at the moment. Definitely quad core, will dig out specs in the morning.

    ML 115 is running an Opteron 1352, the 2Gb ECC was replaced with 8Gb of non-ECC.

    Re: Price check: a couple of home servers

    I sold my 115 G5 with 8GB Crucial ECC to a bloke at my workplace for £120, which is roughly consistent with ebay prices. You could get more if you strip it for parts. For example, one time I killed the board by doing something stupid with a BIOS upgrade and forked out £60 just to replace the motherboard. I see that a mobo sold on ebay in December for £130 delivered, with current ones with BINs of £129.99. So, sell the board for £90, the 8GB memory for £70 or so, and then do PSU for £50 etc. It depends how much you're happy to faff about, or just want rid.
