These are good servers, if dated, but they are power hogs.  I have a
DL380 G3 running VMware Server for my sites.  The 380 holds six disks
instead of two, so I have a RAID 5 with a hot standby.

If anyone has their own server room and doesn't have to watch every amp
of power, these are good machines.

Have you posted them to Craigslist?
