2nd hand servers

I'm looking to get a cheap 2nd hand Dell or HP server. This will be used at home for running VMs such as Untangle, FreeNas and Win 8.1 These server's only come with a 30 day warranty so not sure if they should be avoided?

I;m not concerend about noise and power but reliability. There are lots of cheap ones on a popular auction site.

Thanks for thr advice. How about disks? I am looking to fill out an R610 with 6 2nd hand disks from the same retailer.

I cant seem to find any prices on the HP renew site. However the Dell site has a few servers listed but no drives.

As an aise, can I bypass RAID on a Dell as Freenas does not recommend running ZFS with RAID.
