Sounds pretty good, but I would check the wattage of the processor. Often there are multiple versions of a processor that run at different speeds. If this is going to run 24/7, it might consume twice as much power or more as a T variant of the same processor. I just a built a music server/player with a T variant of a Xeon processor that can be cooled with only heat pipes and no running fans (noise issue). My video processing computer has an S or K processor that runs noticeably hot and takes four or five fans to cool, but it does run faster!

Pretty Good deal... Almost too good... Where from?

Yeah that is a bit too cheap, where is this coming from because I want one!

Guy finally got back to me says dont have that one any longer but have this other 9020 I was going to list this weekend. CPU is i7-4790 quad core 3.6 ghz 8mb cache, 16 gb ram two 500 gb hd stripped for 1 tb space. $465.

its was add on c-list

How does the dell 4790 compare against my lenovo I7-3770

Compare performance of processors here: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/

Yes I did the 3770 is 9347 and the 4790 is 10025 .Is that really worth spending the 465?

I prefer this site for comparison
http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-4790-vs-Intel-Core-i7-3770

The biggest difference is that the 4790 is a Haswell vs. the older Sandy Bridge 3770 processors. This means that the CPU pocket is newer and has a bit more life in it if you wanted to upgrade the CPU at a later time, although you're pretty near the top of CPU for that socket anyways.

Power consumption is about the same, 84w vs. 77w, difference of <$5/yr in power usage.

My biggest issue with that 9020 is that is has 1tb disk space in 2 500gb stripped. You do not want to have 2x500gb drives stripped. That means the data is spread across 2 drives as one big volume. If a single drive fails, you lose ALL the data on both drives. You could however reconfigure them as a mirror setup. Consider the system to have 500gb of space, not 1tb.

The memory and space upgrades may make sense, but $465 for strictly cpu performance is not worth it IMO.

they are pretty close in specs,
I was going to make this a strictly BI machine I have a SSD and 3 -3tb purple drives sitting here

Update i told him 400, we will see, maybe i am getting robbed!

I picked it up for 400. was it worth it?
