Is There Any Use For This $45 Server I Bought From College? (Dell PowerEdge 2950 in 2020)

I found a website where schools, police stations, and other businesses auction off their old stuff and found an old decommissioned server and couldn't pass it up. I was able to buy this Dell PowerEdge 2950 with 2 Xeon 5450's for only $45 and it works perfectly...The only thing missing is an Operating System so let's take a look at the hardware and get it up and running!

Wisconsinsurplus.com is the website where I participate in these auctions online, I stumbled upon this website as I was searching for a cheap way to find Optiplex computers to flip. It may be worth it for you to take a look or ask your local colleges around you if they sell any of their old stuff online or even just straight from the school. I don't know exactly how much this is worth but for $45 I feel like that's a pretty good deal on a PowerEdge 2950 even just to learn about Server operating systems.
