Any reason not to buy a PowerEdge T30

My 2 bay NAS has just died and going to replace with a server. Tempted by the Dell T30 which looks to be around £440. Any reason not to go for this?

ah, so it's expensive then? I was comparing again the HP miniserver series 10.

Ah, with you. Cashback only seems to come with buying OS as well, but don't want that.

What spec T30 are you looking at?

You might be able to DIY something better or more powerful for the same money

It's the base spec: Dell PowerEdge T30 Xeon E3-1225V5 3.3GHz 8GB RAM 1TB HDD. I thought about DIY but have plenty of uncompleted projects

Didn't want any more hassle than installing the OS.
