Good evening guys,

I've been looking for a good deal last weeks for a small server to set up VMs and create/practice some different scenarios.

I've the possibility to buy a Dell PowerEdge 1950* with 2x L5320 quad core w/ 8GB DDR2 and no HDDs for ~150?, but a DDR3 setup will give me a better upgrade costing.

1156 or 1366 bundles maybe could give me a better performed system for similar costing.

Any opinions?

Thank you

*-2x Xeon L5320 / 8MB Cache - 1066Mhz FSB
8 GB RAM PC2-5300F ECC
Dell PERC 5i SAS/SATA RAID Controller
2x 3.5" SAS/SATA HDD Caddies
2x Gigabit NICs
