432345-B21 - HP ProLiant BL20p G4 5148 2.33MHz Low Voltage 2GB Server

Windows 10 will work but I might need more ram.

As said before, if you are only getting 1x BL240p G4, then it isn't going to work because that is a blade server that requires a chassis for power and possibly some ports like ethernet. I also agree that anything older than G6 from HP isn't worth it. G6 as the first generation that had Intel processors that really could reduce their power usage when idle. G5 and earlier only had a high and a low state, and the low state was still pretty high.

To hit the point home, this is what the back of that blade looks like: 

 

There is absolutely no way to run it without buying a fairly large chassis.
