Thought this looked like a decent price. Its actually £178.98 before cashback, but with the official Dell cashback on offer of £70 it makes it £108.98, with free delivery!
Was looking for a server to replace my HP ML110 G7.. Don't think this will replace it but should supplement it and share some of the load once the CPU is upgraded..

This is the current deal thread for that price with plenty of info posted on it:
that same one was £142 delivered just a couple of months ago, with £70 cashback. i literally got my cashback yesterday. it's a great cheap machine, which i'm using now. windows 10 installs and runs great on it. i'd buy another but i don't need one

How does this compare with HP Microserver G8 in terms of processing, power, performance? Any views please.

Not awful actually. I have a Nvidia GTX 950 in ours and it handles things much like you'd expect. Great accelerated 2D stuff, okay 3D with enough features turned down, no 4K.
Why not a better card? Well the 1050 might be an option but TDP is critical here. The PSU isn't that beefy and the connectors are proprietary.

For about the last 7 years I have run a poweredge server at home serving up streaming for a website, file server, Backup server and Plex never missed a beat once you have a server you will never go back.

How would a server work at home/for home office rather than I standard PC? Sorry - just wondered how I could utilise this to good effect? Thanks.

Its no different. a server is just a PC at this price level....only when you start spending more do they start coming with enterprise level hardware

I'm running mine (nb. the better "Xeon" version) on Windows 10 and it's a beauty. Got W10 and Office off eBay for low cost and a couple of slim monitors, an SSD and a HDD too, now have a fast, powerful and capacious desktop PC system for just a few hundred quid. Not at all difficult to set up. Very happy.

Is this better than my current Dell Tower edge SC440 ? How quiet is it, I'm looking to use it for Windows Server 2008/12/16 as a basic server, with sharing mkv/bluray to my firetv box in Kodi or Plex! I already have hdds! I'm referring to the Dell server mentioned in the 2nd comment. Cheers

Great bit of kit, but if you want remote management (AMT), do not buy the Pentium T20. Even if you swap out the processor for one supporting vPro (E.g Xeon), AMT will not work – it has been factory disabled.

There may be a problem with this deal
The last cash back deal for the T20 included the 3220 cpu model, but if you check the list of qualifying models for the current cash back deal it ONLY lists the 1225 quad core version as qualifying
So its best to check with dell before purchasing regardless of what the wholesaler claims
