I needed to upgrade my current Hyper-V virtualization host to support more guest VMs. The Xeon e5-2670's are a great deal at the moment after large tech companies unloaded tons of them onto the renewal market. However, dual socket motherboards are costly and you will still need other components to get it running. For the price of two e5-2670's and motherboard, you can get this workstation which also comes with chassis, power supply, 96GB RAM, and video card. I re-used my existing hard disks and 3-bay hot swap kit from my current host so having no storage included also saved me money.Currently running Windows Server 2016 Data Center as Hyper-V host with the following guest VMs:Linux Ubuntu 16.04.5Linux Ubuntu 18.04.13x Windows Server 2016 StandardSome tips - HP drivers are available on their website but some are out of date or not available. The Intel RSTe driver you will have to download from Intel's support website. The nVidia Quadro 600 drivers can be found on nVidia's legacy drivers website (make sure you obtain the correct version for Quadro 600 and not Quadro K600 which is an entirely different installer). Also, the workstation comes with 4 SATA cables installed (1 to ODD in the 2-bay 5.25" and 3 to the internal 3.5" drive bays). I had to add two more SATA cables to feed the 3-bay hot swap kit that replaced the original ODD. You will need extra long SATA cables to run along the existing cable routes hidden under the right-side panel or remove the 2nd CPU/memory expansion card to route the cables directly.
