New HP Server

Got a new HP server setup and coming online.

Its actually a workstation class machine, but will be using it as a server.

Got it on sale for 20% off so this one cost me about 160+tax

Did not come with hard drive but it did come with 8GB of ECC ram meeting the minimum requirements for a FreeNAS server (note that I am actually installing CentOS 7 on this).  I did add some RAM from an older server that I am decommissioning  to bring it up to 32GB.

Internally there was space and SATA ports for 6 drives

Although not really needed it did have a QUADRO video card.

This box should last me the 5 years I have reserved for it.

On a side note, rain hit hard here today.  Some of it leaked in to the garage.
