Recommendations for dell servers?

nameserver

Need a low end but modern dell poweredge tower server (quieter than rack server) with low budget, which model would be recommended? Must have DDR4 memory.

Also if someone is selling one in the UK please message me.

Thanks

R630 with V4 @ CPU clock above 2.6 GHz, 8 to 10 bay 2.5 HDD/SSD - 1U Factor ~320W / power drain at full load. ( normal usage is ~ 200W )
R730/730XD with V4 @ CPU clock above 2.6 GHz, 8 to 12 bay 3.5 HDD/SSD - 2U Factor ~490W / power drain at full load ( normal usage is ~370W )

Try not to go for Broadcom 10G SFP Mezzanine cards, we recommend Intel x520DA2 or Intel X710. If you find Chelsio CR520 Cards, go with that, they are the best @ 10G.

EDIT:

CPU Wise, a very good model is E5-2687W v4 @ 3.00GHz - it is priced decently.

Thanks for the information. problem with rack server is that they are noisy and I have one at home, which is a headache staying next to it when running. So that is why I am looking for tower servers rather than rack servers.

OK, same setup CPU wise, T430 or T630

For Dell in the model code:

R - Rack Mount
T - Tower

XY0

X - Model / Family
Y - Generation

So for Example:

R630 is Rack Mount, Model 6, Generation 13.
