There are a lot of 10-year-old used Xeons on that list. Their value proposition might be very different if power consumption was also taken into account.

- rasz 7y agoPrices of those Xeons are low because servers they originally came in got recycled in China aka they are fished out of garbage. Motherboard and older ram make whole proposition less than ideal, picking between old server gear with all the warts or "new" Chinese motherboards build using recycled chipsets and dodgy designs (single channel memory Xeon boards with SATA2 only etc).
