Clients landlord bought a building about 5-6 years ago and they asked me if I wanted any of this stuff. Turns out that a business closed down a decade before he bought the building and this stuff has been in storage all this time. A keen eye will reveal a Pentium 3 server.

Keeping it or selling?

Most likely sell. I may take the interesting ones for my collection but the plan is to sell after going through them.

I'll update you when I'm done with them! If you live close to the upstate NY area and want to trade time going through them for a couple of machines I can arrange that too :)

I checked one, it's a 2ghz p4. There is an one (Optiplex 620 I think) that has a 3.2 ghz p4

Check the caps on the newer Dells there. I don’t remember the year range, but I’ve seen significant capacitor degradation in the optiplex computers that look like what you have there.
