What is your intended use with it?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Would that change its value?

Would be used as domain controller, host user profiles, file and application hosting, backuping

It would change its value to you. If you are planning on throwing everything you've got at this then even if it was $0 it still needs to be capable of handling it.

If you were to buy something similar today (they no longer make these exact specs) it would be somewhere in the 4K range so given the specs which are not that bad- dual nics, dual power supplies, 24gb ram, hot swap hds but only a raid 1  :-\, and your processor isn't the greatest, plus you don't have iDRAC which would come standard on any dell server today.

I just can't put a dollar number on it  :D, maybe $1500 since you are out of warranty?

How many users? Any heavy apps eg: QB, autocad, etc..?

Also, it's SBS 11 which is not obsolete yet but it consists of Windows 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010, and the life cycle is based on those components which is:

Exchange 2010 - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search?sort=PN&alpha=Exchange%20Server%202010&Filter=FilterNO
2008 R2 - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search?sort=PN&alpha=windows%20server%202008%20r2&Filter=FilterNO

So, it's got extended support only until 1/14/2020 which is only 3 more years. Something to think about.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.
