I bought this server to replace another Hyper-V server where the MB died, and I can't get a replacement. This refurbished server is significantly better than the one it replaced, and hopefully will be around for many years. There were (emphasis on were) 2 packs of Strawberry Nerds included, and a battery pack. There are no instructions included, but the Nerds were very tasty.
I think the battery pack might be for the RAID (RAID-6 in my case), but I need to figure that out still. After creating a UEFI bootable drive with Windows Server 2016 on it, I was able to install it on a UEFI partition. This will definitely allow me to create multiple VMs, and Containers, as I use it. If I don't come back and write a nasty update, you'll know that I am very happy with this server. THUMBS UP!
Going on 10 days now with this server and I'm in love. I'm using it for a home lab running esxi and I have to say it's well worth the money. Ample storage and memory to run multiple VM's (I currently have 12 running smoothly). Haven't had a single problem thus far, and doubt that I will. Highly recommended for home or small business use. The thing is pretty heavy, but that is to be expected. My only complaint... I didn't get my free box of Nerds! (haha)
Solid CPUs and RAM, but had 2 hard drives fail in 4 weeks....
This server runs 7x24 without any issues at all. The performance and quality was great from the seller! Came very quickly. Although there was some damage in shipping, that I was able to reverse. I'd say beef up the shipping package a bit...
Running Proxmox and 6 VMs and roughly 32 containers on it and it still has room for more. Love this thing.

High-End Virtualization Server 12-Core 64GB RAM 12TB RAID Dell PowerEdge R710
Wow. This was a great deal. Runs like it is brand new and so far no issues at all. Running windows Server 2016.
Working without issue. Nice machines for the money
Great server for a home lab. The server hardware came as described and is robust. The specs allow me to do pretty much any I could want for a home lab setup. So far everything is working great.
It is a very Powerful server. The seller was generous enough to add stuff which makes it run faster and consume less power. Super fan of this seller. Would definitely buy again from him
Good for the price.
