I am new to the Server Hardware world?

My question is very basic and might be absurd. Since I haven't had the opportunity to work on blades yet. Can HP blade server units/any other blade server units be run as stand alone workstation? for reference such as HP BL490c or any other. Since I am planning to buy one used from ebay. So I wished to make sure that I can run the unit as Desktop/Workstation/server.

No. They cannot. The blade server requires an enclosure in order to provide power, networking and downplane/backplane connections. It is useless without this.
