Maxicom buys used, surplus and decommissioned servers across Singapore and Malaysia — Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Lenovo ThinkSystem, Cisco UCS, Supermicro and more. We pay for the value inside (CPUs, memory, drives and boards), wipe every drive to NIST 800-88, and pay in SGD. From a single rack in a CBD comms room to a full row coming out of a Johor data centre — send your list and we'll price it.
A modern enterprise server is a dense bundle of the exact components the secondary market wants most: registered DDR4/DDR5 memory, current and prior-generation Xeon and EPYC processors, enterprise SSDs and NVMe, and boards with real reuse value. When a bank in Raffles Place refreshes, or a colocation tenant in Jurong or a hyperscale operator in Iskandar decommissions a row, that hardware still has years of service left in it for a buyer elsewhere. We recover and remarket it, which is why we can pay for a decommissioned server rather than charge to take it.
The alternative routes leave money on the table: a scrap dealer pays metal weight, and an OEM trade-in gives a credit locked to buying more of the same brand. We pay cash value, in SGD, for any make.
Model families are global; the price turns on generation, configuration and condition. A sample of what we actively buy:
The R-series is the backbone of most estates we buy — R640, R650 and R660, R740/R750 and R760 — alongside C-series density nodes and the MX modular line. These carry current Xeon Scalable, registered DDR5/DDR4 and NVMe that hold strong secondary value, so a decommissioned PowerEdge row prices well above scrap. Send the service tags or a rack photo and we grade by configuration.
DL360 and DL380 Gen9 through Gen11 are among the most liquid servers on the secondary market, with DL560, Apollo HPC and Synergy composable frames close behind. They come out of Singapore bank and colocation refreshes constantly, and regional demand for prior-generation ProLiant stays deep. We buy them populated or stripped, working or faulty.
SR630, SR650 and SR670 rack systems and ThinkAgile HCI nodes carry the same valuable Xeon-and-DDR payload as their Dell and HPE equivalents and clear just as readily. Lenovo estates are common across regional enterprise and manufacturing IT. Mixed Lenovo, Dell and HPE lots are one deal, not three.
B-series blades and C-series rack servers — C220 and C240 especially — plus the fabric interconnects that tie them together. UCS is being displaced in many data-centre refreshes, putting steady volume onto the secondary market, and we buy whole domains or loose nodes. Tell us whether the interconnects and chassis come with it; it changes the number.
SuperServer, BigTwin multi-node, and GPU and storage chassis are staples of the region's cloud, hosting and research estates. Supermicro's component-first design means these often carry the highest ratio of recoverable memory, processors and boards to metal — exactly the supply we are built for. Populated or bare, we grade on what is inside.
HPE BladeSystem and Synergy, Dell VxRail and other hyperconverged nodes pack dense compute and memory and are usually retired as whole clusters during a consolidation. We take the enclosures, blades, interconnects and nodes together, de-rack them on a documented chain of custody, and price the recoverable value inside.
Populated accelerator chassis from Dell, HPE, Supermicro and Gigabyte sit at the top of the market. Where the accelerators are the main value our AI & GPU desk prices those specifically; where you are clearing the whole system, we handle it as one server deal. Either way the GPUs, memory and drives are graded, not weighed.
Gen8/G9-era and older servers, part-populated units and boot-failed boxes still carry component and spares value long after they leave production. We don't turn them away as scrap — we recover the memory, CPUs, drives and boards and price on demand. A mixed-age, mixed-brand room is normal supply, and one settlement.
A used server is worth the sum of what the secondary market will pay for its recoverable parts — the processors, registered memory, NVMe and SSD drives and boards — plus its value as a complete, testable system where demand exists. A fully-populated dual-Xeon PowerEdge or ProLiant with current-generation CPUs and a full memory footprint is worth many times a stripped, driveless chassis of the same model. Generation, configuration, condition and quantity set the figure; the metal weight a scrap dealer quotes barely features.
Because the number turns on configuration, we price from a list rather than a rate card. Send the models, CPU and memory specs and quantities — a rack photo and the service tags are enough — note whether the drives are staying or going, and we return a written offer in SGD against current demand, itemised where it helps you compare.
Singapore packs an unusual concentration of enterprise compute into a small footprint: financial institutions under MAS oversight, government and GLC systems, telcos and a mature colocation market all refresh on tight cycles. Next door, the Johor–Iskandar corridor has become one of the region's hottest data-centre build zones, and with new capacity comes migration, consolidation and the first waves of decommissioned kit. Both produce a steady flow of well-maintained servers with real secondary value — and both are within our collection footprint.

| Any brand? | Yes, as scrap | Only the OEM's own | Any make and generation |
| Data destruction | Not reliable | Varies by programme | NIST 800-88 + certificate per drive |

No server leaves your control with data on it. Drives are sanitised to NIST 800-88 (HDD) and IEEE 2883-2022 (SSD/NVMe) with a certificate of destruction, on a documented chain of custody; unwipeable drives are physically destroyed through a vetted partner. For MAS-regulated firms we can align to your internal TRM controls and support witnessed destruction — the evidence your auditor needs, built into the deal.
Every data-bearing drive is sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 (HDD) and IEEE 2883-2022 (SSD/NVMe), with a certificate of destruction, on a documented chain of custody. Drives that can't be wiped are physically destroyed through a vetted partner. Certified destruction is what makes buyback safe under Singapore's PDPA and Malaysia's PDPA — so it's included in the deal, not billed as an extra.
Offices and corporates clearing space · IT teams running a refresh · data centres decommissioning across Singapore and the Johor/Iskandar corridor · banks, healthcare and government needing certified data destruction · schools and universities · and resellers, distributors, ITADs and MSPs clearing surplus and client stock. One unit or a warehouse — the process is the same, and the paperwork always holds up.
Send your server list or a rack photo and we'll come back with a written SGD offer and a collection date.
