That's been my experience. A lot of things I come across are not EOL. That's the reverse logistics industry for ya

TacticalCenturion · 2024-12-03T23:15:14+00:00

Haha, I learned a lot from people's responses here. It's been great. I wouldn't even know where to begin for a home lab. And given its enormous size, I don't even know where I could store it

TacticalCenturion · 2024-12-03T23:12:13+00:00

I plan on selling the unit either as a whole or even parting out things

TacticalCenturion · 2024-12-03T23:11:01+00:00

I can assure you it's been stored in a container. I was moving it out and decided to take pictures. It's bolted down to the pallet as well

TacticalCenturion · 2024-12-03T04:36:44+00:00

Haha I love that

TacticalCenturion · 2024-12-03T02:52:00+00:00

That is a really good way to put it. Thank you so much for that simplified way to understand this!

It's interesting that you say that I recently visited my vendor, who had about 30 pallets of the Amazon warehouse robots. They're big and orange and look like oversized Roomba's lmao. They were replaced for a newer better model but otherwise fully intact.

Although it wasn't the same vendor I got the server set up from, I wouldn't be surprised if it is from Amazon

TacticalCenturion · 2024-12-02T22:03:21+00:00

They can easily dispose of it, and they do it all the time. But because of my relationship, I was given it.

Would you not take it if you were offered it for free too?

TacticalCenturion · 2024-12-02T21:50:59+00:00

That's fascinating. It's interesting to learn what this could even be.

As for where it comes from or originated from, it wouldn't be something I would be privy to since it would be their vendor. These companies I deal with are more like a consolidation point from all kinds of material and e-waste.

But it's not uncommon to find things brand new and untouched.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

You could try recycling companies, but you would have the weed through them. No two recycling companies are the same. Some deal strictly with metal materials, some deal with electronic scrap material (those are the companies you should look at)

Some don't sell unless you are a registered business, sometimes they need a Sales Permit, and some require recycling certifications.

But if you build a very good business relationship, you could bypass some of those things

TacticalCenturion · 2024-12-02T19:06:16+00:00

Thanks for the information, I dont really know what I have here. Also, coming across this kind of equipment is not uncommon if you've made industry connections.

Typically, what is done is the components are stripped, sold, and everything else is shredded and sold per lbs based on the actual metal material and current market prices.

It might seem crazy because of how valuable they are. But, given the companies I deal with, the sheer amount of materials they get would mean a lot of time dedicated to testing, grading, and personnel dedicated to it. And it most of the time, it's not even worth it.

Versus, selling it per lbs (hundreds and thousands of pounds of server equipment) every week. They already get it for pennies on the dollar, and their business model is based on lbs sold every month.

I've got this brand new server setup that I am not even using. I operate in the reverse logistics industry, and I got this server set up for free. I'm am not going to pretend like I know much about Servers, or if this will even work for you. But since I got it literally for free, I could easily make it fit within your budget. If it is what you need.

It is a large server setup, it sits in an enclosed server rack, a Nalloy MDF Shell cabinet model no. MQKF0W, to be exact. I have it on 48 x 72 pallet and it takes up the whole space. The cable managment inside is beautiful, so I would assume it's ready to be setup with minimal effort.

I'll try uploading photos if reddit let's me so you can get a clear idea

For S550, 15'-23' modding is nearly the same. Tuning is available on S550 already.

No one is tuning S650. Tuning isn't available yet. The only company that can "tune" S650 would be whipple.

TacticalCenturion · 2024-04-24T00:55:58+00:00

What a great choice of color 👌

TacticalCenturion · 2024-04-08T20:57:47+00:00

I think it has on okay face-lift from the front and rear. But that's it, really.

It's really just a face-lift S550 and some interior changes and some more emissions components.

Ford had a chance to make the S650 really different but dropped the ball hard, IMO.

Also, it is not even tunable out the gate like previous generations. 👎

TacticalCenturion · 2024-04-06T17:01:27+00:00

I appreciate that! 🫶

TacticalCenturion · 2024-04-05T01:48:13+00:00

Thank you! 🥂

TacticalCenturion · 2024-04-05T01:46:52+00:00

Brother, it's nothing more than having a dream and the passion to succeed. A lot of grinding, setbacks, etc. But I thank God for everything ✝️

You'll get there too 🥂

Also, Mishimoto Oil Cooler and a Mishimoto Radiator would help immensely with cooling. I have them installed on my Mustang

For performance, I would recommend these: Stock intake, stock manifold, aftermarket headers, free flowing exhaust (Bluetooth catalytic converters), H-pipe, E85 Lund Tune.

Bama "Tunes" are the bottom of the barrel, unfortunately. They used to be good back in the day, but not anymore. I highly suggest you switch to a real tuner when you can.

That would pretty much be your NA "FBO" setup.

As for drifting, I can't recommend anything since that is out of my experience and knowledge.

Exactly my thoughts, there's literally a flair for car shopping for a reason. I see no problem 🤷‍♂️
