Friend dropped this 128G dual Xeon

2025-12-29 05:25:02.814683+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Friend dropped this 128G dual Xeon machine on me, if I could use it. Plugged it into an ammeter, turned it on, and presumably going into BIOS it's sucking 1.5 amps. Not sure I need a machine in my house that draws 180W at idle, unless it'll be substantially less when it boots into an OS (and I'd need to put a drive in it to test that).
