Hello everyone, I'm looking for a used 1U server, mostly to use as a virtualization host, so the general requirements are -- SATA, lots of ram slots available and the support of relatively cheap RAM, lots of cores. I've been looking really hard at HP Proliant DL160 G6 and HP Proliant DL165 G7, budget -- around $500. Also, are there any local computer recyclers that would have 3-5 year old off-lease systems? Thanks, Alex.

With the large drop in value to the Canadian dollar your budget may be hard to achieve. I found a group out of Michigan called PC Servers and Parts on fleabay through a smaller purchase and have since done more. Fair pricing (compared to other fleabay marketers with very good service. (Note: I was purchasing the product shipped to an American address.) Dee

I’ve purchased hardware from http://netnit.com previously. They are located up in Markham. I’ve bought two dl360’s from them a few years back. Used them as Nagios/puppet servers at a previous employer.
