Suggest - Is this a good deal ?

Hi,
I am having a deal on WHT which I believe is lucrative.
X5650 - dual + 64GB DDR3 + 146GB SAS 15K * 2 + 100 MBPS unmetered
in 50 USD
Do you think it is worth buying ? Or the machine is too old for that. Also the SAS could be troublesome?
Help me take a decision.

Depends on what your using the box for?
the deal is nice except disk space
Depends on your usage and who's the seller.

I can add more disks for 5 each. But they can only be SAS
Seller is databasebydesign, I have used them before.
I am thinking of using it as a production environment for an upcoming project.

If you need speed go for SSD or SATA, id personally avoid SAS.
I don't have experience with them but doesn't look like a bad deal if they provide a decent service.
If you can make do with the small disk(s) you'll get some nice performance vs sata . At that price I'd assume they will not be even nearly new...
