A friend of mine linked me to this seller earlier today. They have some pretty tempting deals, but I've never heard of them before.

Has anyone bought from them before and was it worth it?

I got a server for free and at one point, over half of my energy bill was for storing movies and nextcloud. Depends on the energy cost where you live, but for that price I could have paid for the highest tier of some cloud office suite that doesn't run slow like nextcloud, and the highest plan of netflix.

Of course i chose self hosting, but this time with energy efficient hardware, server now takes 50 watts peak, with 4 hdds and an nvme. Asrock rack motherboard, with IPMI.
