This is the least expensive config I could make.

not bad when you consider the upgrade potential and warranties.

And this is why I don't buy new for except for within the datacenter.

+ 2x 500GB Samsung 850 EVO SSDs in RAID1.

It's just something we stand up to run DHCP, Windows Updates, and an MDT server which basically is just a file/tool repository. With 32gb of RAM I can spin up 4 6GB VM's without a problem, all with 80-120GB of thin disks. Snappy as all get out, and faster than some of our production stuff at some tasks simply because of the high clock speed.

Unless you want something new -- not several generations old, and have it come with Dell warranty support.

I hear you. I see those benefits, sure.

To me and the organization I work for, it isn't. Not for stuff that won't be running mission critical infrastructure. For that we have brand new Cisco UCS, Pure, and Rubrik
