@KDCvideos I know that Dell has their own certifications, but would I need a Server+ cert so that I could manage and maintain this machine?

Eing?

I cant find anything about how servers work, I Need to speed up my animation rendering (3dsmax>vray) and I have found a load of dual xeon servers on ebay for cheap, What would I need to get one of these (just for rendering) or is it way to complicated to set one of these up for personal use?

I'd leave the bezel off

heat sinks, fans , transformers, more heat to dissipate ... servers are a totally mess of power (and losses).

@KDCvideos You can buy one of these now for $689.99 on overstock.

What's the background ambiance there? I can hear something in the background, yet the server's off?

@TheChromebuster There's another identical server that's on below it, also there's the HVAC unit behind me providing ventilation.

How much did one of those server's cost?

That one as configured was around $3500 without the OS. But this model starts around $1800 if you can live with out the fancy hard drives... I got one PE2950 for as low as $1600 shipped when it goes on sale and you don't want a lot of extras. Just check our Dell's website and play with the configuration tool. (Use the Small/Medium business section cause they seem to have sales and promo's more often)

You can't really compare laptops and servers. Servers don't have lcd screens, 3d video cards, a bunch of ports for connecting things, wifi, card readers, sound card, etc... All the money goes into processor, memory, and storage... and you only need so much of those 3 things for any given application. Also, you usually buy more than one of these... one for each application / type of server. One standard rack can hold more than 30 of these... so it's nice that they aren't too expensive.
