My homelab runs on two T20's. 24/7/365 without issue and they sip ~ 25 watts from the wall with Xeon E3 L-series chips.

They are pretty old though and just barely fast enough. Last year I ordered a Precision 3630 to test out as an upgrade. I was so disappointed by the engineering and build quality I requested a return the day it arrived.

I had a T30 that ran 24/7 for about 10 years but started having machine checks, but I was too lazy to see if it was fixable, so I just bought the T40 to replace it. The T30 was a solid machine and I never had a problem with it. I can start to hear some fan bearing failure now in the T40, which means they're not using ball bearing fans and that really pisses me off.
