My dumbass was gonna strip it for parts.

Curious what you industrious folks would do with it?

    Same. For most people in our space, a Dell Optiplex micro is more than enough horsepower (except few expansion ports). There’s no reason to be running a legacy server consuming 2.5kW just to host some movies or store your camera footage.

      My thoughts too. I already have the Dell optiplex with external hard drive bays.

      Overkill is overkill especially when it has a cost for power and your room sounds like a fucking aircraft hangar
