Good day all!

Thanks to everyone who replied to my first home server question a couple months back. I’ve since been learning more about linux and recently trying to learn vim motions after improving my touch typing.

I’m currently negotiating a price to purchase a second hand ThinkStation S30 (mostly for the case) with the following insides:

  • Processor: Intel Xeon E5-1620 V1
  • Memory: Samsung 32GB DDR3 ECC RAM
  • Graphics: Nvidia Quadro K4200

What Hardware considerations should I plan for in advance? Any upgrades or additional components I should look out for? What price is this even worth it at?

Any and all guidance appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reminder, I should have a spare SSD lying around somewhere.
