Very nice system, has been stored for two years in the Temperature Controlled Server Room. This was a spare machine and shows little wear and tear. The ONLY known issue is Hard Drive. When we fired it up, it was very, very noisy. Bearing was partial seized and it screamed for several minutes before we put it out of it misery. Ill be happy to ship the original HDD, but its u g l y!
Currently installed is a 10 gig we had laying around, nothing wrong with it, just small in size. We have adjusted the price to reflect this.

A reasonable reserve has been added, you will not be able to snipe this unit.
