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 ❤

    You’re not going to get anything like that for $150.

    ~$200 will get you a nice mini PC with 16GB RAM

      Looking for recommendations for a racecar, at least 800 horsepower. Needs to hit 60 mph in under 4 seconds.

      My budget is $2000. Please give recommendations.

      LOL

        Wouldnt bother with Gen8. We literally throw them in the e-waste recycle bin.
        Either get a Gen9 if tight with cash (also EOL) or Gen10 servers which are currently supported and get current updates.

        If they are up for that, I’d be happy to part with mine for cheap. They’d need to get an E5-2650 (v2) to meet their 16 core requirement but a pair of those are pretty cheap.
