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.

Why this rebuild works

This old office pc was grabbed from a tip shop where it would have other wise been thrown away.
