It is a meme post?

It’s an enterprise server, with dual sockets, a lot of cores and ram. Not built with power saving in mind. And not built to be used on a home.

Have you done any research before buying it? Probably no.

That is normal power consumption behavior. And you are lucky that it consumes not that much for what it has.

Sell what you have and buy a generic desktop computer. Voilà. If you already have a desktop or laptop that you don’t use at home, use it as your server and turn off the enterprise stuff.

Of course. But there are situations of people posting about some very old stuff, that even for free or for tinkering, wouldn’t be good. We are talking about vintage stuff, maybe good if you want to make an old homeland, to run just old stuff. What can I say in those situations other than that.

L O L

What can I say to someone that gets an OLD IBM with a dual socket 4 cores CPU, with 2 GB of ram and thinks he hit a jackpot, for 100€, with a system that idles at 200W and has the power of an i3 first gen.

Of course it’s a heater, or a door stop, what other things you can do with that system.

Would be better if those people maybe posted before buying those systems, for shopping suggestions. That’s a topic. Not your complaints.
