6 servers were decomissioned, Iwas able to only get the disks, RAM, CPUs and Network Card.

The total of this is : 88 x 8TB SAS disks 44 x 16GB RAM sticks (half 2133, half 2400) 6 x v3 Xeon e3 2630 6 x v4 Xeon e5 2640 3 x 10 GB PCIe dual port cards 12 x 1U heatsink

I’m really lucky to have all of these, even if I don’t have a use for all of that for now (except some of the disks)

EDIT: Forgot to mention: All of this for free, I work in a datacenter!

    Yeah does anyone else wonder if this screams of incompetence from upper management? OP was ONLY able to get the disks, RAM, CPUs and Network Card. Sounds like someone higher up gave the “ok” just thinking the “Server” frame was the important part security wise. It would be an interesting scenario to see if the data center was able to upgrade the system while keeping all of the base components compatible and everything under cost or if this was just a screw up.
