What is a refurbished device?
A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

The Dell PowerEdge 1950 is a compact 1U rack server built on Intel's Xeon 5300 Clovertown platform. This configuration features dual Xeon E5335 processors at 2.0GHz with 16GB DDR2 RAM — a cost-effective platform for lab environments, lightweight application hosting, and network services. Please note: no hard drives are included, and server rack rails are not included in this listing. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
In a rack environment, the PowerEdge 1950's 1U form factor allows dense server deployment — up to 42 units in a standard 42U rack. For network infrastructure roles such as DHCP, DNS, NTP, and routing, the 8-core dual E5335 configuration provides far more compute than required, making it a long-lasting platform for these lightweight services. Lightweight virtualisation with 2–4 VMs is practical with 16GB RAM, and the RAM can be upgraded to the platform maximum for additional workloads.
For home labs and budget-conscious IT teams, the 1950's 1U form factor is a space-efficient way to add a physical server to a rack without dedicating 2U or more of rack space. Its age means spare parts, replacement drives, and compatible DIMMs are widely available and inexpensive. The Xeon E5335 supports virtualisation extensions (Intel VT) for running hypervisors, though it lacks the AES-NI hardware encryption found in more modern Xeon generations.
