That's an awesome thing. You should have fired it up so that we can see why it annoys you so much.

Hello, I have a question. I have the opportunity to purchase the chassis for one of these for cheap. The blades can be had for rather cheap as well, so I am wondering whether this would be a worthwhile investment for a home ESXi/Xen/Hyper-V/General server computing lab. You say they are loud and power hungry. Do you have any better recommendations, or do you think I should go for it?

@XtR0pX If they're cheap, I'd say go for it. I pay $65/mo for power - but I live in Iowa where power is 7c/kwh. And that's with only four blades running. The DRACs -suck eggs-, and no mistake, but if you can get the front-load USB pigtail that connects to each blade they're managable.

Yeah these are nice.. jp.. If you need RAM for the blades I have some OEM Dell RAM for the PowerEdge blades. Just tell me what size and type you want. I saw your boards they look sparse on RAM. I have a lot of the 512MB sticks you could have.. probably at least 20 of them.

@gbowne1 Thanks! My company finished offlining their other 1855s, so I actually now have 16 blades for this machine, and a pile of disks and RAM, but I appreciate your generous offer.

Crap! that looks freakin' cool,thanks for that video,I think I'll throw away my old poweredge 2450 for this thing lol. You can use the DRAC to install software?

You're _supposed_ to be able to. The DRAC in the 1855s works so poorly that, in reality, you simply can't.
On the newer ones (our company replaced all the 1855s with M600s), with their iDRACs, work a whole hell of a lot better. They're still not perfect, though.
