Lenovo ThinkCentre M81 7518 - Core i5 2400 3.1 GHz - Monitor : none.

 

Bought one as a server for the house. Solid build, solid performance, decent price, and the rigid case was great for some Dremel induced drive array mods. :)

We have purchased several of these over the past year and each one of them are still running without any issues. 4GB of RAM have been enough for what our users need. Most of them are running duel monitors because of the amount of applications the users...

We have several services running on this computer. This machine has to run 24/7. I have never seen this thing have any issues. The only time I've seen it shut down was an end user error.
