Colocation is horror. You are responsible for replacing the HW if the magic smoke gets released. Nah. Just rent it. Not to mention capex vs opex. Don't forget

Colocation is horror. You are responsible for replacing the HW if the magic smoke gets released. Nah. Just rent it. Not to mention capex vs opex. Don't forget to add two 960GB U.2 NVMe drives. Those are expensive. For eg https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-0d9-0003-000d0 https://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/product.aspx?item=9b-... $831.60 apiece. Doubles the server price. Oh I forgot you picked a server which doesn't have hotswap NVMe bays... Also that CPU is old and slow. It is the one before Sandy Bridge. I can't find the EPYC chip on the spec site but a roughly comparable Xeon: Old: https://www.spec.org/cpu2006/results/res2011q2/cpu2006-20110412-15692.html https://www.spec.org/cpu2006/results/res2011q2/cpu2006-20110...

(yes, the latter is 2P so you'd need to halve it, it's still twice as fast)
