Dell T7810 “Chia Farming” Workstation/Server, 2X Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 up to 3.5GHz (28 Cores & 56 Threads Total), 128GB DDR4, Quadro K620 2GB Graphics Card, No HDD, No Operating System (Renewed)

Mine works perfectly. I bought some SSDs, installed Proxmox and now I'm running multiple workloads on the machine. I'm running 2 K8 clusters with Grafana, Mimir, Loki and Tempo deployed. This one machine can run my entire home lab and then some.

Original purchased pc did not have the correct Ram or GPU, would not boot or display video, waited on an exchange, received the exchange and the second pc looked rough, super dusty, WRONG GPU AGAIN, and still WOULD NOT BOOT, was able to access the BIOS once but couldn’t ever get it to display again

The outside case was not in 'excellent' condition. I'd call it Very good. It has some minor dings and scratches that were covered up with some kind of scratch filler paint. Of course I did not buy the thing for appearances. The inside was squeeky clean. In this case, it had no unused sata cables except one, and no drive caddies. The description warned that there were no HDs or SSDs included, only one DVD player. After getting needed parts, windows 10 installed from a USB with no Issues. However, all the MB features \ drivers do NOT install automatically. (example MB Raid controller) You must go to Dell Support to download. Over all I am very pleased that I got great value for the money, this machine with it's dual Xeon processors, 28 cores, is a beast. Update: 1023, Replaced the Quadro with a new Asus ProArt Geforce RTX 4060TI OC 16gb, Why? First it fits (just barely, and covers up the 2nd PCIEx16 slot) But most importantly it has 16gb of Vram, a vital property for AI, machine learning, About the most Vram you can find outside of the RTX 4080. The T7810 only has PCIE 3.0, more bandwidth or performance in the GPU would probably be wasted. However, having as much data local to the GPU as possible is optimal, and of course, this model GPU saved me a lot of $$$. $250 minimum. AI learning wants lots of Vram, followed by lots of cores, GPU and CPU, then memory addressing, e.g. 128, 192, 256bit. Photo editing and browsing 100s of photos is nearly instant. will report on AI learning later.

Well, the Dell T7810 finally arrived! The tower was perfectly packaged in layers of bubble wrap to protect it from the long journey during shipping.I noticed some people who purchased one of these towers reported the tower was dead on arrival (DoA) and/or wouldn't boot to POST - blank/black screen. I also had the same issue of no POST (black screen) and believed it may have been due to the fact that I removed the unexpectedly installed 128GB SSD drive to install 3 1TB SSD drives. After some thought and a bit of research, I removed the CMOS battery, which when replaced, allowed me to access the BIOS settings (repeated pressing of F2 to access BIOS settings). After applying the default BIOS, setting the time, and a couple of other minor settings, I rebooted, and still the same issue - no POST and a blank screen.Long story short, I believe many people who reported DoA or no video issues may have the SATA Operation setting in BIOS set to use RAID instead of ATA or AHCI. Once I selected AHCI instead of RAID, I was able to install Windows 11 from a USB drive.It's a great system, and I'm very pleased. The tower was advertised as no hard drive or OS. I was surprised to see that the 128GB SSD, wired keyboard, and mouse were included. I very much recommend this seller!

When the system first arrived, the case was really damaged and lopsided, seemed poorly packed. The memory had come off the system board, the power supply had come out, it was just a mess. I tried to power it on and it started to boot but the power supply sounded like a lawnmower. I requested a replacement, it was in much better shape, minor scratches was the only issue. I'm running Windows 10 and it runs really well. I've not found any application that will slow it down yet. I see the entire 128GB of memory and the CPU count, no issues there. For the price I'd go through the trouble of getting another if I needed it.

Workstation/Server delivered as represented with a nice caveat. A 128GB Samsung SSD was included with Windows 10 installed and license included. This was unexpected as T7810 was originally represented as without hard disks/storage included. Made the process of upgrading to Windows Server Standard 2022 that much simpler! Much thanks to the seller! Excellent value.Specs were spot on (again as represented in advertisement) with the only exception (not really impacting my needs) being the RealTek USB WiFi NIC (Wireless N) was too old for Windows Server 2022 driver recognition (didn't matter as I used Ethernet cable vs. wireless). Had I stayed with Windows 10 - would have been just fine.Documentation included had contact information for the seller in the event any issues arose (which none did for me). Good Customer Service and clear communication are always a component of a successful sale - we checked that box.So in summary, my purchase expectations were exceeded by getting more than expected within the timeframe, quality standard and customer service expected.Easy to recommend this seller for future Reconditioned Equipment Needs.

I bought one - didnt boot AT ALL, 2nd one i bought broken /did not work as it should ,COULD'NT EXCEPTR THE RAM IT CAME WITH. FRONT PANEL WAS CRACKED, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE JUST STOPPED TALKING TO ME WITH NO RESPONE AT ALL , VERY RUDE -EXSEPT FOR "FRANK"{HE WAS THE FIRST GUY I CHATTED WITH, HE WAS COOL) & ALSO FEDEX LIKES TO THROW THINGS TOO

Added with HDD and NVMe SDDs (needed an extra Dell part for NVMe).Very easy to tranport on Trains and cars.Awesome and quiet sitting in my office and running simulations.
