I just purchased a Compaq Proliant server comes with
Dual (2) Xeon 3.06Ghz CPUs, 6GB DDR, and 2x146.8GB SCSI and 4x73.4GB SCI totaling 575GB+ of hard drive storage, 2 x DVD/RW drives and XP Professional installed w/COA. I thought it was a deal $ 400. What do people think about home use...thanks

Except for gaming its not bad. for $400 that's a good deal, I might think its a really good deal.
I got myself a $6500 PC. I wish they made high tech gaming server PCs. I would save for like $12000 to get one.

Yes you can use that system for home use. If your doing webserving or just about anything even highend gaming will work great on that kind of setup. MAN you got a killer deal on that. Just the parts alone are over $ 2500 or more. I would look into video editing or hosting a few 100 websites.. Thanks

NO it's terrible!
Let me help you, I'll give you your 400 dollars back and you give the server to me. I'll even drive you to the nearest Walmart to buy a new computer. ;)
What are you going to do with 500+ Gigs of storage anyway??

Should be great but not for gaming.
I would suggest a killawatt meter. This will be expensive to run.
p3 international.
It will tell use the watts, volts, amps, hours of use, kilowatt hours, etc. I have 2. They are nice.

WOW....not only a deal but a hell of a deal.
Why would you think you could not use it for home use?
It is powerful but will run anything you want to.
All you need is the monitor and keyboard and you are set.

I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems.
Some hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful

The only way to find out for sure is to try it. If it works to your satisfaction keep using it if not you will have to make a few changes to make it work properly.
Good luck

The pc will be fine for home use and what ever else you plan on using it for.
