I still swear by my Ameridroid H2's - Celeron quad core, dual channel DDR 4, 2 x 1Gbps nic, 1 x NVME, 2 x Sata, 4K video - less then $120. I have 3 that I got the end of last year - tricked out with 16G DDR4 and 2x480G SATA - $250 each
edit clarify it was $250/each
- SparkyMcUnicorn 7y agoA few days ago I picked up a SFF Dell (precision T1700) with a Xeon E3, 32GB DDR3, small SSD + HDD, 11 USB ports, and a thunderbolt pcie card. All for $200. The CPU is roughly equivalent to a 6th or 7th gen i5, but with 8 threads instead of 4. Installed proxmox with 1 VM and several containers. Couldn't be happier with everything. My wife can't even hear it under decent load in the living room.
- mech422 7y agoI got a rack full of Dell and HP blade servers of Ebay years ago - nice gear - dual quad core xeons with 48G ram, SSD, and gigabit networking... Thing is, running all 16+ blades pushes my electric bill over $500/month, and sounds like a fighter jet getting ready to take off :-P Having silent gear is totally underrated!
