Selling my HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 — solid little 4-bay homelab box, fully working, ready to plug in and run. Maxed out RAM, upgraded Xeon, paid iLO4 Advanced license, and Proxmox 9.1 already installed and configured so you can boot it up and start spinning VMs the same day.
Upgraded my homelab to a Gen10 — this Gen8 has served me well for the last 2 years and there's nothing wrong with it, I just don't need two boxes.
Asking $300 OBO — cash on pickup. Reasonable offers considered, especially if you take it this week. Not interested in trades or shipping. Must pick up in Palmer or Wasilla.
What's included:
* HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 chassis (used but clean, normal cosmetic wear — no dents, all panels intact)
* Intel Xeon E3-1275 v2 CPU (Ivy Bridge, 4C/8T, 3.5GHz base / 3.9GHz turbo, 77W TDP — the popular Gen8 high-performance upgrade)
* 16GB DDR3 ECC RAM (maxed — this board's hard limit)
* Seagate 4TB HDD (1 drive — bays 2/3/4 open for you to add more)
* All 4 HDD caddies (the disk trays — these are often missing on used Gen8s)
* iLO4 Advanced lifetime license (full remote KVM, virtual media, etc. — sells alone for $30–60+ on eBay; HPE retail $254)
* 250GB internal USB with Proxmox 9.1 pre-installed
* C13 power cable (kettle cord)
