Grant HutchinsonBelieve it or not, all of these #Xserve and #XRAID bits are still available. Pick one or pick them all. Cover the shipping and they could be yours.

Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL]@splorp I'm so annoyed that these are in the wrong hemisphere or I'd be all over it.
@mike That seems to be a common response to my offer.
Aaron@splorp i do actually own a couple of Xeon Xserves and it might not hurt to have some spare parts.
I’m in the US though so if you find someone domestic who would like them please give them precedence!
@harpaa01 No one has confirmed interest yet, so they’re still available. Do you need more details?
codepoet@splorp do you have a sata drive backplane and/or logic board for the 2009 xserve?
@codepoet80 One of the replacement motherboards is for a dual processor 2009 Xserve (but does not include the processors themselves).
I have another mostly intact Xserve (Early 2009 Quad Core) without drives or memory. I believe that this was the server for those Intel replacement parts.
I’d be willing to part it out, if you need the backplane as well.
@splorp would love to buy that backplane off you. I’m not in Canada again until Christmas, but would happily pay for shipping to my in-laws (who *are* in Canada!)
@codepoet80 Let me take a peek at what’s in that beastie and we can figure something out.
@codepoet80 I just pulled the backplane out of the donor Xserve … can you confirm that this is what you’re looking for?
@splorp that’s the part! I’ve been through 3, they all die the same slow and annoying death! Happy to give yours a new home… how can I pay you?
@codepoet80 PayPal is fine with me. My first name at splorp dot com. I just need an address and I’ll figure out the postage.
