Selling my TYAN S5375 server workstation tower (2008). This is older, server-grade hardware from 2008 — not current hardware, and priced accordingly — but it is a real server board in a heavy-duty tower, tested and fully working, with Linux Mint 21.2 already installed and ready to use.
Perfect for a home server, NAS, Plex/media server, retro gaming, or a cheap Linux learning box. Just plug in a monitor, keyboard and mouse and it is ready to go.
What makes it good for a server:
- Real TYAN server motherboard (S5375) — TYAN server boards have a solid reputation, built for 24/7 operation
- Dual Intel 82573V Gigabit Ethernet ports — true server networking, great for a NAS or home server
- 2 hard drives with ~640GB of storage — plenty of room for media and backups
- Dual power supplies
- Linux Mint 21.2 pre-installed (clean install, no personal data on the drives) — runs light and fast on this hardware
Includes:
- TYAN S5375 server workstation tower
- 2 power cables
- USB keyboard
- USB mouse
Features:
- Intel Xeon E5405 @ 2.00GHz (Quad-Core, 2008 Harpertown architecture, LGA771)
- TYAN S5375 server motherboard (dual LGA771)
- 3.8GB RAM (2x 2GB Kingston DDR2-667 FB-DIMM) — 8 memory slots total, 6 free, expandable up to 32GB DDR2-533/667 (Registered ECC). Plenty of room to add more memory — see the photos of the empty slots.
- 2x SATA mechanical hard drives (not SSD):
- 320GB SATA HDD
- 320GB SATA HDD
- Total combined storage: 640GB
- Dual Intel 82573V Gigabit Ethernet ports
- Graphics: integrated XGI Z7/Z9 (basic) + dedicated AMD Radeon HD 6450/7450 (entry-level)
- ASUS DRW-2014L1T DVD reader/burner
- Dual power supplies
- Linux Mint 21.2 pre-installed (clean install). No Windows installed — buyer is welcome to install Windows instead if preferred, but Linux Mint is the recommended OS for smooth performance on this generation of hardware.
Condition:
Used – tested and fully working, sold as-is. Honest notes: this is 2008-era hardware. 3.8GB of RAM and mechanical hard drives (not SSD) are low by today's standards, and the graphics are entry-level — so it is best as an always-on home server/NAS/media box, not as a modern gaming PC or heavy desktop.
