  This thing sounds like it could power the death star, but seeing as i lost my last one thanks to a,problem with a small thermal exhaust port, what other uses could I have for one of these?

  I wonder how much this will cost to run for a year, other than that I'd be in!

  - well it has a VGA socket as well as PS/2 keyboard and mouse, so from that perspective strictly speaking why not, (wouldn't have thought the graphics chipset was up to a great deal though) the main problem is that desktop operating systems probably won't 'see' all the processor cores - as someone mentioned previously, this is essentially a virtualisation host. - Also - doesn't come with an operating system. In some ways you'd be as well looking at a cheap laptop - at least it comes with a screen and keyboard.

  Good server but a bit slow to host cutting edge apps but if you are happy with clustering fantastic

  These bad boys are very loud :P
  Wouldnt make a very good home pc which makes sense seeing as they are servers to go in a rack.

  This is hot deal for someone in IT who home works or something. You can then rack it nicely in a LackRack :)

  Would be a bit loud but perfect in garage or something. That and a UPS and you could do some hosting from home oO

  Putting sensible hat on, the L5410 appears to have a benchmark of around 3000 on Passmark. There are two of them giving around "6000" processing power. This is around the same processing power of a ML110 G7 with the E3-1220 processor (6365). My E3-1220 takes around 23-30 watts on idle so is very cheap to run. Not sure what these idle and run at but with a dual processor its going to be a bit more than that.
  
  The ram upgradability is a big bonus.
  
  Other Dell rack servers I've owned have had very loud fans so not suitable for desktop use - worth double checking how loud this is before you decide to try and use it as a desktop.
  
  Seems a reasonable machine for the money but I'd still go for the ML110 over this if I didn't need a zillion GB of ram.

  Just built a home server with a AMD 3670k because i had the HDD knocking about as my NAS failed and also had the ram lying around so only paid for board case CPU total cost around £160 for those 3 parts, i would of been interested in this as its a rack mount so because of the size you can pretty much put it anywhere so long as its fairly cool in there. This bad boy would have some real grunt for the home especially loaded with 12tb of HDD space and a Data centre edition of windows.
  
  Hot
