Good value as desktop or server.
Arrived extremely well packed and in good order, plus two separately ordered blank 450GB, almost new, Seagate HDDs.
Needs USB type keyboard and mouse.
Installed free Oracle LINUX 7.6 from DVD.
Updated old (2013) BIOS, iDRAC 6, PERC 200A and 32bit diag firmwares after installing DELL Systems Update package.
Updated Oracle LINUX with GENOME desk top option. Excellent for web browsing etc.
Configured and started Apache server with "Hello World" homepage.
A little noisy for use on my desk top, even when set for minimum power etc. Very noisy for a few seconds on power up.
All in all a great success. Recommended if you can persevere with configuring software to make it useful. Now all up to date and good for next 10 years hopefully.
