Not true.
Should be noted that this does not come with a hard drive. I think this is the best value T20 offer right now. I have ordered this last week along with a Xeon E3-1225 from ebay.
Only thing is that ebuyer send you an invoice with the wrong product description, the CPU is wrong but the product code is correct. Hope Dell honour the cash back.

Yup, now £149.99 with free delivery - after cashback that's £79.99. I got one of these a couple of weeks ago from Servers Plus. Mine will have worked out at about £85 after cashback. It's a pretty good deal, the T20 isn't as well put together as the HP servers, but it's still very cheap for what you're getting.

good for plex? Can it transcode 1080p?

With an upgraded CPU yes.

I find with plex its best to encode your content in advance. Actually I think thats a new feature? I do it manually with batch scripts but pretty sure the plex pass version does it automatically.

I run a self built server with a J1900 processor that transcodes 1080p just fine. 1 x 1080p & 1 x 720p simultaneously works fine.
The G3220 has a PassMark of 3190 and my J1900 has 1916, so this should handle a couple of 1080p live transcodes without issue.
This doesn't come with an OS on it does it?
So what OS can you put on this, and roughly how much would it be? I'm guessing Windows 2012 R2 would be the best options, but what would that cost?
Also, would PLEX be ok to install on this, and use as a NAS, as an alternative to a Synology DS215J.
I pressume this would be a much better option to a Synology NAS would it?
