Be sure to check the power supplies and what it will cost to replace
them as new motherboards have new power connectors and often different
power requirements. If these are to be used as production servers you
will to replace the power supplies with new ones regardless and it is
probably the case that new power supplies and new motherboards will
cost you the same as completely new servers. Now using them as
development, soho, or non-critical systems would not require replacing
the power supplies unless the connectors and / or power requirements of
the Motherboards are different.<br>

Hi
While we are on this hardware tack, I have a small stack of 1U servers
(chenbro cases) I was thinking of reboarding. The existing boards
processors are quite old, Pentium IV, or Celeron with a RAM limit in
some cases of no more than 1GB.
Anyone got any 1U m/b and cpu recommendations? I was tempted I think, by
one of the mini-itx with coreduo processor. I'm not looking for Dual
Xeon, or Dual Opteron as power/heat may be an issue.
Regards
Paul Lee
