Another vintage Compaq Proliant. This one was not without LOTS of trouble. Mainly was due to the problem where the server will not start and "click" when the power button is pressed. To fix this, we need to slam the processor cage into the server to seat it. I had a video on this but apparently lost it somewhere along the timeline of finishing this server! Not my favorite machine by a long shot, but still a nice piece of hardware to add to the collection! I also had a lot of fun trying to get this system online and doing things despite it being around 23 years old. Enjoy!

Hey I had one of these in production. It was a P2, but it had the IML Display which was pretty awesome and configurable :) I remember that when booted it'd show my CPU and memory usage on bars. It also hat a DDS3 drive for my backups. Good machine.

That's awesome! I do have a P2 one as well, and also a PL7000 in another video with the IMD display going. Such a cool piece of hardware, shame it wasn't standard on all the proliants

We used to always say, when they said you can buy faster internet, and get faster computers. That they dumped so much stuff that it made it slower. Xp wouldn't be a good choice, as it has too much bulk, double of the previous versions. Yt struggles as it won't have the codec. And because of all the crap on there. Looked like a bit of fun. Oddly a old Compaq laptop I have from. The early 90's was faster than a friend's new one.;) P2 450mhz. Omnibook (the one with the media/cd player fast keys and LCD display so you don't have to turn on the laptop ;)

Such a cool pc/case! I also see the plus deck cassette tape player 😮

Good eye! I do not have the cable and pci card thing for it however. I figure it must just be a couple wires to figure out the signal out but haven't played with it much. It does seem to load and play tapes properly!
