Does anyone know a source for cheap, older, *legit* Windows Server<br>
servers? I'm looking for something that includes the hardware and the<br>
O/S. Obviously to be legit the license would have to be OEM (with COA) or<br>
FPP (full retail box), and not corporate bulk/blanket licensing.<br>
<br>
The minimum O/S version level acceptable Windows Server 2008 64-bit or R2.<br>
<br>
I need the dirt cheapest solution, like dirt dirt cheapest. They can be<br>
beat up, low ram, junk cpu, etc; just has to work and be cheap. By cheap<br>
I mean like under $250. Surely Server 2008 is old enough now that the<br>
2007-2010 level of hardware is basically only good for recycling now?<br>
<br>
Alternatively I could also use cheap used FPP copies of Server alone (no<br>
hw), which I think would be legit to buy used(?). Obviously OEM wouldn't<br>
be.<br>
<br>
<crosses fingers> Thanks!<br>
