[Gllug] [OT] Was Purchase computer without OS - now Reboard 1U Servers

[Andy Farnsworth]

Paul,
  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.
