Hi, looking for a rackmount server to replace my whitebox supermicro and my local recycler has a bunch of these and will let them go for about 100 a piece. Was wondering if anyone has run any of these in their homelab and has more info on them? Things I'm interested in are:

Issues with compatibility (ram,cpu,hdd etc.)
Power consumption
Noise (not too big of a concern right now but would like to know)
any other reason I should get/avoid these?

Thanks in advance :)
