Just got a used Dell, dual 8-core CPUs and 128GB ECC ... main purpose is for a NAS and it'll sit in the garage because of the noise. I may look into what CPU upgrades are available and maybe throw some heavier workloads at it.

For now, planning on just playing around with it. I haven't decided if I'll be running Windows or Linux as the base OS yet.

Is it a rack server? I found the power usage too high on those servers compared to more traditional servers.

It's a standard 2U enclosure... haven't tested the power usage, but it's a relatively current Intel CPU (E5000 series iirc), so should idle reasonably well.
