I’m back with more stupid questions/discussions.

What would you guys pay for a Dell PowerEdge R730XD:

2 x Intel Xeon E5 2680v4

64GB DDR4 ECC 8x8

12x 3TB Seagates 30-50k hours (3,5 inch drives)

Dell H330 Raid controller.

I’m looking to upgrade my r710, because its old.
Enterpise still recommended? Or selfbuild better?

    Comparable *SOLD* listings on eBay are averaging $500 - $600 unloaded, meaning CPUs, power, RAM, and controller included but no HDD

    You may want to consider Supermicro servers too. Great enterprise platform. A 6028U X10DRU comparable to the R730XD with 2x E5-2690v3, 64GB RAM, 12 LFF Bays, 4x 10G-BaseT Ethernet is going for about half of what the Dell is selling for
