Took a gamble on an auction
Just bought 2 Poweredge 1750's off gsaauction.gov for $80. There wasn't any info about the specs or configuration, so we'll see what I pick up tomorrow. Hoping to run a home lab with some VM's on them.

They don't have VT therefore you won't be able to run 64 bit guests. -

I'm pretty new to virtualization, what's VT? I'm sure there's a 32 bit version, right? -

My suggestion is sell those locally and maybe get some more money then buy one of these: Dell PowerEdge C1100 1U 2X Xeon QC L5520 2 26GHz No HDD 72GB DDR3 Tested | eBay
throw in a few ssd's and have the time of your life. -

buzzkill is right, this model cannot run 64 bit guests, 32 bit only. It also sucks power like there's no tomorrow, from what someone once told me. Instead, you should have coughed up a bit more cash and a used HP DL 380 G5 would have been great. Always research before you buy. -

Just picked it up, they messed the listing up, it was for (1) 2650, no drives, 2GB ram, (1) 2.8Ghz proc. I have some old SCSI drives I can thrown in it and see what I can get for it.

Yikes, that sucks. I'm sure you can do something with it but that won't be good for what you want to do.
