February 2010 Archives


We have a moderate amount of gear that was removed from production at our datacenter or corporate office over the last few years that has been waiting in boxes to be sold when he had time to get around to it. I'll be putting together an exhaustive list over the next few weeks, but here are some items to start with:

  1. Genuine Cisco VWIC2-2MFT-T1, Qty 2
  2. Genuine Cisco 2811 Router w/ upgraded ram+flash (See Specs in 2/11 Update Below) 
  3. HP ProCurve 2626 
  4. Avocent Autoview 2030 
  5. Kingston Rackmount Ultra SCSI Storage Array 
  6. Snap Server 210 ( 2 * 700GB, GuardianOS 5.2.056)
  7. Snap Server 2200 (2 * 400GB, SnapOS 4.0.860)
  8. Several Adaptec UltraSCSI Adapters 
  9. Intel 1000PT Dual Port PCIe GigE NICS Qty 3
  10. Intel Quad Port NICS (ask for model #'s)
  11. Qlogic QLA4052C Dual Port GigE PCI-X Server iSCSI Storage HBA's, Qty 2
  12. Numerous rackmount kits for Dell PowerEdge 2800/2850
  13. Rackmount Avocent LCD + Keyboard
  14. Several APC Business SmartUPS 1000XL units with additional connected external battery packs for extended runtime (note that original batteries in these units exceeded their normal lifetime - buyer will need to procure new ones from APC to run - will be very heavy when shipped.)


There is also a maxed out Genuine Cisco 2821 that may be leaving production in the next few weeks if we can get a new 1941 installed to replace it.

Right now, we're looking for interested buyers and best offers. All HP, Avocent, or Cisco gear was purchased direct from CDW or PCNation with DeployLinux Consulting as the one/only owner. 

UPDATE (03/01/2010):

  • It's been a quiet last two weeks - much more equipment still to list, but I have decided to focus on getting rid of the stuff in the current list before adding more. I would love to be able to sell everything this week one way or another -- trying to avoid the ebay route, but may end up going that way for some of it.
  • If you have any questions or need pictures/more info, please email me.

UPDATE (02/15/2010):

  • The highest offer we've received to date on the Cisco Router + Two Dual T-1 HWICS is $2K.  This will be the selling price soon if we don't receive any higher offers (feel free to bid on just router or hwics).
  • Added numerous rackmount kits for Dell PowerEdge 2800/2850 Servers.
  • Added SmartUPS XL Units
  • Added Rackmount LCD/Keyboard
  • Updated Information on Snap Servers
  • Our desired price for HP switch is $200, but we'll sell for best offer.


UPDATE (02/11/2010):

  • We received an offer on the 2811 + T-1 VWIC2, but will wait a week to see if we get any higher bids before accepting.
  • We were asked what we're hoping to get price wise for our equipment and the best answer I could put forward was:
Our goal is to sell everything within the next 30-60 days, which means we will consider all offers.  Pricing wise, we expect to receive bids as low as 25% of the current market price for new and as high as 75%.   We'll sell to the higher bids immediately and take longer to accept the lower bids, but we do want to sell everything.

  • Most gear is in good to excellent condition.  If you have a question about a particular item, I can give detailed answers or upload photos.   In general, gear was taken out of production system sometime in the last 30 days to 2 years and placed in our office storage until we had time to get around to selling it.

UPDATE (2/10/2010):

  • Updating LinkedIn and other places where notice was sent to point here.  All future updates to 'sell list' will occur here.  I will keep list constantly updated whenever items are added/removed/questions answered/etc.
  • Specs gathered for Cisco 2811
  • Added Qlogic iSCSI HBA's to Sell List
  • Other minor edits to list


Cisco 2811 Details:

Appears to be a Cisco2821-HSEC-K9 w/ 786MB RAM + HWIC-4ESW Installed.  Unit seems to be in good condition.  I noticed 1 minor scratch in top paint and fan is loud, but I guess that is normal for 2811's.   Configuration is not wiped, doing that now.
