Could one run an ultra-frugal IT operation on a mixture of 10-year old server hardware, linux, consumer grade hw and yahoo, twitter, google for other stuff?
I am not seeing the value of the multiply redundant server over just building a generic low power server with a few big SATA drives. So what's not to love about 8 TB of space and an almost silent server. It's certainly a lot cheaper in utilities.
If only Oracle made VirtualBox networking easy that might be a good place for the old DL380-ish machines.
