But it's not a lot of power overall. Those E5520 Xeons are ancient- they barely outperform my 8 year old i5. And the video card in it is a joke.
Buy that machine, and you're really just buying an old motherboard, case, power supply and RAM. I can get a modern version of all of those for not a lot more money.
The single CPU score much slower than the i5 in my home desktop. The dual Xeon's are a touch faster than my i5, but probably not really in most real-world usage.
At work we sell 3.06ghz xeon cpus for 30 bucks. Still new in box
I've been looking forward to getting 2 or more and making some frankinstein **** but then when i think about it why do i even need it which i dont. I already have 2 desktops 2 tablets and a laptop.
It suggests a failure of the free market to adequately serve the needs of the population, and would seem to argue in favor of a model in which communications services are provided by the state rather than by private business.
I ask because I was thinking of buying the same tabletop to use as a kitchen island, with either the OLOV or GERTON adjustable-height chrome leg. How do you like it?

Yessir. I didn't like the chrome legs when I saw them in person, the finish just looked odd to me. I bought the cheapy legs for now and I'm going to do something on my own later on. Height wise they're fine though, I just don't like the way they look. Makes the butchers block look cheap.
Tower is sitting on their huge butchers block cutting board and some Captiva? legs. I'm out to lunch now or I'd post links.
How's the countertop itself in terms of rigidity / surface durability? I always use a cutting board whenever I'm slicing anything, but it's going to be in a kitchen none the less.
I've got two other Ikea desks which I use for general office / PC stuff (they're the BEKANT series, with a laminated finish), and while they're fine for what I use them for, the surface does scratch / ding easily- they wouldn't last long in a kitchen.
I built this for my work station about 3 years ago, still going strong.
