I have a batch of ~20 of Dell’s Precision 7820 Tower with Dual Xeon processors, $700 each.
These are refurbished units configured with Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS.
If you’re running an office, homelab, CAD/engineering software, or just need a serious server-grade device, this is an excellent pick.
These towers are near-silent with light workloads, and don't sound like a jet engine when they ramp up. ~90-120W typical power draw for idle loads, ~150-230W for mixed loads.
Some may have small scratches/nicks from use/transport; a few may be missing the front bezel (just let me know if you prefer one and I’ll try to match you with a unit that has it).
Memory:
- 32GB DDR4 ECC Registered (16GB x 2)
- 6 DIMM slots total
Storage:
- 128GB SSD + 500GB HDD
- 4 storage bays (3.5”/2.5”), plus additional internal SATA ports
- Supports SATA, SAS, and NVMe (with optional FlexBay kits)
- Great for **TrueNAS, UnRAID, ZFS, Ceph, JBOD, or RAID**
Display:
- NVIDIA Quadro P4000 (8GB GDDR5)** - 4x DP 1.4
- Excellent for transcoding, Plex, video processing, CAD, and GPU-accelerated workloads
- Low power draw + runs cool
- Supports high-end GPUs (I personally use an RTX 5060ti in one of these for model training)
