What's up guys, This is for a Dell PowerEdge R730 3.5'' 8 bay Large Form Factor (LFF) server. This can run Windows Server, Ubuntu, ESXI, trueNAS, unraid .. whatever you want basically. Comes with Proxmox 8.1 ready to go, but do what you want with it! Proxmox is a virtualization platform and allows you to fully maximize your servers potential by running multiple virtual machines and containers off one server! Also a great choice for running local LLM models like Llama, Orca Mini, Deepseek because it can support GPUs (You only need 1 GPU to get started). This is a 13th generation Dell server offering awesome power, excellent heat dissipation and is whisper quiet!
I'm happy to help answer any technical questions after purchase!
I have the app with push notifications so will be quick to respond :)
