I thought so too. It came up on HUKD a week or two ago but sold out when I happened to find it searching for something else. Signed up to their mailing list and more came in stock.
Cheaper but better spec (older generation processor but faster) than similar workstations on the Dell Outlet I was seriously considering so I'm happy.
Quick look around suggests that the 'standard' offers on this are nearly all i5, nearly all 4/8GB tbh, and nearly all more expensive - so a genuine bargain there.

Although, now that I re-read that quote, he must have been typing with his phone. Unless, perhaps, doing 'eeet' would empoverish me to the extent that I'd starve.

Incidentally, I followed the advice and did "eeeet".
So now I have a little 120GB Western Digital SSD in my server along with shitabytes of storage all duplicated overnight.
So all the faffing around with water coolers and cpus and drives was quite fun after all and along the way I learned how Macrium Reflect Free edition has become much better of late. Now it's a really robust backup solution with scheduling and everything. And you can do something really cool that I've wanted for ages: you can schedule a clone so that if your boot drive goes bang, you can just change the boot order and carry on with the clone as though nothing happened. And I found out (again) how flaky peer to peer networking is with Microsoft and how hard it is for people who know a bit about networking to get it right. Unfortunately, I also found out that the mobo in my desktop PC that I thought of as a bit elderly and limited, is actually rather wizzy and has things like an M.2. slot I never knew about, and USB3 headers and all sorts of things I can't afford to go on playing with. Hey, Ho.

How small is a small form factor? We have some teeny little boxes in work but I think they are mostly used to access servers over a remote desktop connection.
Can you just stick the SSD in there dangling around? Don't think I ever fixed mine in properly, it's just sitting bottom of the case.
The Ultra SFFs have no expansion and are the type of things you can VESA mount. I've got one at work (HP Elite Desk 800 G2 Mini) and it's a nice little unit, Core i7 6700, 8GB, 240GB SSD.
Normal SFFs usually have a couple of half height PCI/PCI-E slots. Maybe space for another drive in there. But not much room for expansion. Ideal for an office environment.
