Dell R420 E5-2440, 64GB RAM, 4 Bay
Pros
* Very quiet for a 1U. A box can could drown it out
* Redundant PSUs (optional feature)
* Dedicated iDRAC port
* BIOS/UEFI has great menu functionality and doesn't require a reboot to get to different config menus
Cons
* Fans can be aggressive to spin up/spin down which makes the noise more noticable than it needs to be
* H310 is limited, you may be interested in upgrading to the H710 although beware you will lose the ability to set Non-RAID drives in the H710
* Limited internal storage expansion options if you go with the 4-Bay unit. You must use a PCIe adapter to add M.2 storage, there really aren't any other options.Read full review

r420
good server, extremely quiet, powerful enough to run a few VMs for a home server. I would recommend this totally over an r410 or r710, it will be much quieter, have a better Idrac, and have better single threaded performance.Read full review
