Dell Poweredge (alien.top)

I was originally going to get a Dell Poweredge 1950 but I saw that those things are pretty old, so I have decided to get a Dell Poweredge R710 instead. The seller I am purchasing it is selling it for $70 USD but with no ram. I found some good ram for it which is $40 USD. Should I get this server? All I'm running is a file server and game server and do not care about noise.

R710 is e-waste. Try to get at least like a r730 with ddr4 ram. An r720 is still usable, but getting long in the tooth and only ddr3.

The R710 is a great solution if you find you're not paying enough on your electric bill

Great for the winter time!!!

It's why I still have a plasma TV.

Which I just powered on last week.

Yeah I think if you run something that uses lots of power is fine if its cold outside. You can turn of the heating and get heat from the server rack.

Might be e-waste but still good for someone just starting, not everyone pays expensive electricity
