Title: Anyone got a spare HP SMART E200 controller
Post by: TheBoy on 08 December 2008, 12:47:35
Probably one for those who look after servers, but has anyone got a HP SMART array E200 controller they wise to donate or sell cheaply to OOF?

If nobody has one spare, I'll have to get that £95 one from egay, but think that is too much for a 2nd hand one  :'(

May i suggest TB that if the item you require is for the OOF ie, the members, then why don't agreeing members chip in a said amount for it. I don't think it's fair that you should be paying £95.00 for an item from ebay when it's for our behalf.
I'd gladly send an amount via paypal to you & if 95 members send £1.00 then its no hardship. Just a thought ;)

It's a nice idea but in all honesty, I don't think we'd get 95 contributors. I reckon we'd get about 20 of us, which would be a fiver each.

Just give me a paypal addy and my contribution will be there. :y

I really hope this would not be the case, we've over 4500 members & counting. I'm sure we could get 95 to chip in :y

I hope you are right mate. I just don't see 95 people doing it.

I hope you prove me wrong :y

Cash is not an issue.  Thanks for thinking on those lines but it is something that has raised its head more than once since the birth of OOF.  Be assured that if there was a financial  cost or implication then we (the admin team) would be looking for support from the forum.  We currently are not, but thanks for the thoughts...   :y

Not looking for financial contributions.  I know a few members worth with HP servers and probably have loads of stuff laying around destined for the bin.

No, they tend to have just scsi or sas disks using semi software raid.

OOF is nothing without its members, so you all give a great deal to the site :y

Would assist with hardware but the only HP kit is my current PDC   :-/


Other than that I have an old Dell 420 which I was about to skip....still trying to justify the replacement for the PDC so I can do some of my shared computing stuff but the other half might notice. If it happens then it is up for grabs but no queue just yet
