Found by dumpster, new to homelabbing, good find?

Hey all, as the title says I’m new to homelabbing, and a while back I found an Optiplex 3060 Micro outside of my apartment’s dumpster (I had spoken to a maintenance guy after who had said their office was just getting rid of all their old tech and replacing it so he just had to throw it all out. There was genuinely a brown cardboard box sitting right next to the dumpster, no diving necessary). It’s currently running Windows and behind a locked user, so I’m not able to see the main system information, but from the outside sticker it has an 8th gen Intel i5. I figured that hosting media, games, and maybe a Minecraft server (as you do) would be pretty easy on this fella, but how good did I get it for the low, low price of Free.99? And would anyone have experience and/or advice with getting started with this setup? Thanks a ton! submitted by /u/ichbinfjord [link] [comments]
