Is $352.80 CAD ($257.04 USD) ($251.64 + $101.16 shipping) worth it for these specs?
Specs:
- 2x E5-2640 v3
- 64GB DDR4
- H730mini RAID
The description notes "Lid is not closed properly. See the picture", judging by the picture it seems that the lid is dented. But nothing that a pair of pliers can't fix. It also notes that it comes with no drives or caddies, nor any power cable/adaptor. But, those should be somewhat easy to get, so add on another like $50-ish to the price for those. I would also probably upgrade the RAM to 128gb.
I pay for bitwarden because it's so cheap, and yet I love what they offer. It's able to be selfhosted, which is why I'm willing to trust it. The service I pay for is protonvpn. I need a vpn just for a few generic things like bypassing locked down networks that prevent me from using ssh, and I trust protonvpn enough to use it for smth like that.
