Does anyone here have any experience with IBM P5 servers?
We have 3 here at work that have been de-comissioned, and we've been told we can take them and do what we like with them. From what I hear, they cost about £25k each a couple of years ago.
Anyone know what they might be worth now? We're hoping to get a bit of money from selling them to fund a work piss-up

Not worth much at all due to thier power consumption.
Were getting rid of them as quick as we can because we can buy and power them for a year for the same cost as powering the P5 i.e. we are in profit after a year of ownership
