What pitfalls can be when buying a boo server?

Question

Server equipment

Hello users and experts!
Help with the choice, I was going to buy my first server, bu, there is no $ for a new one, but the equipment is normal.
Without advertising, without all that, I want to ask where to buy better?
What pitfalls can be expected? Considering Servergate and Dorf (so far).
There is one phrase that automatically raises the question - "All components are original", but in others it may not be original?
If you have any helpful tips, please post.

Answer 1

Warranty.
It may not be original. Maybe even changed or repaired.
Are you sure you need to buy? Maybe renting is better? Discs are worth it too. And yes, place it somewhere.
Maybe it's more profitable to buy PS iron?

Answer 2

Check out the NAG store. I have often bought used ones from them in the past. They give a small warranty on equipment, something like six months.

Answer 3

They can, of course. Cartridges are non-original, why not be a complete set.
I can recommend the office, I took it myself. Here
Five years is not a term at all for a server, but according to the regulations in the DC they are required to be removed, so they are sold to companies of this type at a low price. The office will clean, replace dead consumables (coolers, etc.), diagnose the nodes, the office will give a guarantee for a certain period. You can also buy a raid controller from them for cheap.
NAG also sells equipment. At the previous place of work, the entire network was built on a bu nagov tsiska :)
