EDIT : I’m going to use a Lenovo P500 (at around $130) with 8 threads (will upgrade it later) and 64gb of RAM. It support the E5 v4 family so that’s great. If someone knows the power consumption, that would be cool!
Hello, I want to build a “homelab” and I’m searching for a server, what do you propose me as good options? I need something with at least 64gb RAM, can buy used, and minimum 16vcores… Around 150$ If you have any good options let’s comment below 👇 THX ❤
I wouldn’t worry about a specific number of cores, as that doesn’t translate at all to CPU performance. Instead look at single thread performance.
So something with a Core i5-7500 on ebay for example, should be able to get one in your price range after buying more RAM.
