They have the basics of everything to get jumping on Linux from power management to virtualization all for $213 (including shipping). These are reliable, solid machines that are out of date for current commercial use (DDR2 RAM is far more costly that DDR3 per GB) but perfect for someone who wants server-class gear at home to learn on.</div><div><br></div><div>I usually get supermicro but they all have odd quirks that make them a pain. New ones are a great deal on that price/power/pain curve. Dell is over priced when new.
