Dell Slim EC51250, worth it for parts alone?

Just purchased some of these for £529 Inc VAT, seems like a good deal on 16GB RAM (Single Stick 4800Mhz) , CPU, NVMe .  Costs £679.00 on the Dell site

yes looks good, I'm after a "PC" for home, was also considering going to the dark side

but only 256GB SSD. If it drops back down to £500 I could be seriously tempted.

I'd like one of those as a home server type thing thought they cost a lot more.

Pretty certain (providing you work in a school) that you can get this for £499, with Apple Education savings.
