I bet all the drives are SCSI. Even G5 HPs are not that expensive, let alone G3 or G4 - and no model numbers or specs listed.

The rack looks nice, and the power grid is good if you happen to have three phases available. Overall, it /may/ be worth Â3k, but it might be worth an awful lot less.Â

Not enough info to judge. Probably deliberate.

I have a couple of HP G5's and they are fun to mess around with but power hungry by modern standards and not particularly well suited to home use. You often see them on fleabay for <Â50 and the drives (SAS) often go for 15-20 quid. Splitting this lot up and selling them on would be a terrific amount of work which I guess is why the seller isn't doing it.
