I am in the process of refurbishing some aging servers at my company I work for and it was more cost effective to upgrade several older servers for our development environments than consume resources on our larger vm hosts. By upgrading the memory, cpu's, and necessary parts to make the upgrades complete I saved our company a ton of money by utilizing older hardware and a lot of money in vm licensing by performing simple upgrades on several of these aging HP servers. I've had 20 years of HP server experience and can say, other than iLO being clunky, that these HP servers are built like tanks and run forever. I can utilize hardware we own and opensource software to bring servers that would be junked into a new life for 3-5 years more without having to pay more fees for vm licensing on our existing VM hosts, plus I get the fun of working on hardware at the same time. Win-Win for everyone! The heat sink is very accurately described. It looks like a brand new heat sink - it literally looks like it came from from the HP parts department new inventory. I'm very happy with the quality of parts and service from esiso. I am using this heat sink in an HP DL360 G5 that will have dual quad core processors and 40GB of RAM along with an upgraded battery backed cache for the raid controller. Along with some "new to me" 300GB drives this server will be able to host 4 vm's easily. I have bought from esiso before for these server upgrades and I am extremely happy with their products and how quickly they get parts out to you. I'll keep buying from them as often as I can when I need parts. I'm a very pleased customer and have no qualms about ordering from them - they have great hardware at reasonable prices!Read full review

I was a bit concerned when it showed up without any attachment hardware. I've never used 1U servers before and when I opened up the box to see what else I would need, it turns out i didn't need anything else. Bonus! This works great and has been in my live server for 4 or 5 weeks now and it hasn't exploded so I think it's working very well.
