Great Value

Lenovo ThinkServer TS140 Tower Server System Intel Xeon E3-1225 v3 3.2GHz 4GB 70A4001LUX

Pros: Value! CPU + RAM + Power Supply is about what I paid (on sale) it's like getting a case & RAID Motherboard for free! Running 2 1080p monitors on the built-in display ports & RAID 0 Intel SSDs. This is a zoomer for the Web Browsing & Office work my wife does. After POST it is less than 10 seconds to Windows 8 logon.

Cons: I needed to load 2 drivers that Windows Update didn't locate. There is not enough built-in Power Supply to make this a gaming machine or large storage array.

Overall Review: I'm running one as a workstation and 2 as low-end servers. I would buy more in a flash if I needed a lab / low end server.
