I've just been offered the below for around $220 is it worth it? If its not compatible with FreeNAS would it be a useful server for other workloads?:
Processor: 2x Opteron 2373 2.1GHz Quad-Core CPU Installed
Memory: 32GB (8x4GB) RAM Installed
Cards: Perc 6i RAID Controller Installed
12 Bays with Caddies (no drives)
For sale here:

Some more details from the Dell forums on exactly what they are:

Where they identify this range as the likely motherboard:
