It's got a 6-core Nehalem processor (1st gen i7). You might have issues installing modern GPUs into one because the power supplies are not designed to power the 250watt+ video cards they make now.

So, it's a decent deal if you understand what you're getting and that the hardware is likely heavily used (as in it has been on for 5 years 24/7).

They have likely been run hard and put away wet if you know what I mean. Left running 24/7, depending on the business they have been used thoroughly, may be filled with dust and run hot.

They will do the job but if you plan to like play games with then you'll want to do some upgrades (PSU, Video card). I know people who buy these all the time and have no problems.
