Currently using it as a small dedicated server running CentOS 7. The UEFI has useful functions such as automatic boot after power loss/restore which is great as it means that I do not have to babysit the server. It's pretty quiet and the fan is not noisy at full speed. Set up couldn't be easier, four screws on the bottom and anyone with half a brain could figure out how to install the RAM, SSD and/or a 2.5" SSD/HDD without the included instructions. The i3 version runs my server just fine, if I need to upgrade in the future I wouldn't hesitate to buy the i5 or i7 versions.
