KVMs are unreasonably expensive and my work was about to throw this one in the dumpster. I just need to order some console cables first but I'm really pleased.

Tbh, I don't really notice it, it hasn't got a dedicated gpu and it lives mostly idle, I use it as cloud storage and a media server aswell as other server apps such as teamspeak and I'll set up a game server every once in a while.. I love having it
