Hi

The disk trays for the HP servers are a commodity item on eBay.  Even  
with four year old machines the disks probably aren't worth hanging  
onto. Sounds like you got an interesting box ....

I would definitely head over to the HP site and see what you have. You  
might be surprised at what is or isn't in there.

Bob
