Dell PowerEdge R210 II
The Dell PowerEdge R210 II is a compact 1U single-socket server (LGA1155, Xeon E3-1200 v1/v2 or Core i3) with low power draw – a homelab favourite as a pfSense/OPNsense firewall or edge server. It takes DDR3 ECC UDIMMs (up to 32 GB) and two 3.5-inch drives, with optional iDRAC6 (Express/Enterprise). When buying used, make sure you get the right model: the R210 II is the newer successor to the original R210 (Gen 1), not the same machine.

Frequently asked questions
Which CPUs fit the Dell PowerEdge R210 II?
Only LGA1155 chips: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v1/v2 (Sandy/Ivy Bridge) or Core i3. There's a single socket, so no dual-CPU setup is possible.
How much and which RAM does the R210 II take?
Up to 32 GB of DDR3 ECC – as UDIMMs (unbuffered), not Registered RDIMMs. Filter specifically for ECC UDIMM modules when shopping.
R210 II or the original R210 (Gen 1) – what to watch for?
The R210 II is the newer generation with LGA1155 and Xeon E3-1200 v1/v2 CPUs. Check the listing for the exact "II" so you don't accidentally buy the older first-gen model. It's popular as a pfSense/OPNsense firewall thanks to its 1U size and low power, but with only two 3.5-inch bays it's less suited to bulk storage.
