I suppose they're long gone, but a couple of proper servers are still running.

I'm sure there's a surprising number of servers that are old to drink out there, humming along happily unsupervised.

When I still had the computer business, I remember getting called into
a travel agency (new client) who's server was out of disk space. It
was a novel server.

It took me and my helper a couple of hours to FIND IT. We had to smash
a wall out as they had drywalled the server inside an old closet. I
asked when they renovated? 12 years it ran inside that wall without
a hickup. We shut it down, cleaned out the fans, added a bigger HDD
powered it back up (386 DX40) and as far as I know it's still running
to this day.
