missed a freebie!

Someone had a e450 free for pickup on CL, I replied while it was still the second item on the page, but I was told it was already gone. Doh! So bummed...

I wouldn't be too upset, the e450 is big, big on power, and not all that fast with todays Solaris. I have seen them used as tables though, as well as space heaters. :)

Yeah, the power consumption was a concern. But as far as speed, it would be a lot faster than my U5.

My wife probably would have shot me if I'd brought it home, anyway. :D

Alas, not anymore. Used to live about 40 mins from you, though!

I'm talking to a local guy who has a Blade 1000 he wants to get rid of. We'll see how that goes...

Hope its free! those things aren't any better for power eating.

Really? I figured the E450 had a beefy PS due to being a server, and that a desktop would be quite a bit better.

Depending on the configuration, a blade 1k/2k/ 280R can draw up to 800W and 9A IIRC. (Our blade 2000s and 280rs continually overload circuits)

Also, the e450 was USII(e?) based where the blade 1k is USIIIcu based - much bigger cpus.

Edit: I say based on config because the stock 1k isn't as bad as a fully loaded 2k or 280r, but the faster cpus do work just fine in the 1k and many people did the swap.
