HP EliteDesk 800
Another Cheap Home Server
Overview
This old office PC has been refurbished to make a great home server. This server runs like a dream and will do great as a Minecraft, Website or project host. It includes: DDR3 Ram Intel I7 240gb SSD Storage
Benchmarking: - A: 90-100 means the server stays strong even when CPU, memory, and disk are all busy. - B: 80-89 means strong overall, with some visible drop under full mixed load. - C: 70-79 means good hardware, but one subsystem becomes the limit once the server is busy. - D: 60-69 means usable, but the bottleneck is easy to hit. - E: below 60 means the machine may still be fine for lighter jobs, but it loses too much performance under the configured stress load.
