Ideas on how to use 8 servers

[davee]

Hello.
Do You have any ideas how use 8 servers?
7 of them are E3-1230 or higher and one is E5-2690.
Rack has about 300Mbit connection.

Any reasonable ideas would be helpful.

Depends on whether you want to make money or just do some philanthropy.

I'm too poor to be philantropist:P I have not inspected all the servers but there can be more Xeon E5 servers. Our main office was moved to new location and most of racks were moved there. But this one is to stay because there is new one.

300 Mbit is a bit sad though. >.>

I guess the best you can do is provision VPSes and get a few bucks at a time. Dedicated would've been the way to go if it wasn't for the sub-par connection.

Probably I could get 1 Gbit if I would know I earn some decent money.

 

[Ranchvapour]

Money is definitely possible. :D

1Gbit connection would cost about 100USD with our current ISP. We are connected with fibre so technology is not a problem.

If some is interested in renting any of the servers please PM.
