The ECC RAM alone is worth half the cost of this server.  Be aware there are not hard drives or operating system with this.  This is a plus with a server though.  Even though it uses a core i3 processor, this box has an intel server chipset, which means it has some limited remote management capabilities (enter the BIOS remotely) and much better RAID options.  We have bough hundreds of these and have never seen a power supply, RAM, processor or motherboard fail.  They all run 24/7.  This is one of the only servers you will find that uses the graphics capabilities of the processor - most server motherboards will have a very minimal Matrox or ASTSpeed video chipset and ignore any CPU graphics.  This is OK if it's in a sever closet, but not if you want to use this as a workstation.  
Do yourself a favor and get decent hard drives for this.  We use Western Digital Gold drives only and have had great luck with them.

Excellent entry-level server for the money

could not be easier

Using this as a Plex server and home lab. Before I was using an old Vaio laptop. I can sleep again while the Plex server is scanning! So quiet.
