Hi Rescue,
So, some years ago I bought a T5240 from eBay. When it arrived, I
noticed it didn't have CPU heatsinks, and furthermore, when I looked at
the listing, the heatsinks were clearly missing. So, no one to blame
but myself. I asked the seller about a refund anyway, but they quite
reasonably called it buyer error, and I considered it a funny learning
experience.
Subsequently I would occasionally look for heatsinks, but I wasn't
willing to spend very much, so it took some years before a listing
checked all the boxes. Eventually I bought a T5140, in as-is condition,
but with the heatsinks intact. I moved the heatsinks and a few other
parts over, and now I'm giving away the rest of the machine.
This T5140 is missing:
* CPU heatsinks and bolts
* Power supplies
* Memory
* Drive trays (and drives)
* 1 SAS cable
* Rack rails
I think it has everything else. In particular, it has:
* SATA DVD-ROM module
* Fan modules
* PCIe risers
The above parts could be sold, but I'd rather keep the machine
together. (If you want to part it out, feel free, though.) Before I
removed the heatsinks, I verified that it's the 8-core 1165MHz version
by putting the board in my T5240. So I'm confident the motherboard
works, but the other parts are untested.
