I agree with the other commenter who recommended a cloud solution. If not though, a 5950x will be way faster than any decommissioned unit in a similar price ran

I agree with the other commenter who recommended a cloud solution. If not though, a 5950x will be way faster than any decommissioned unit in a similar price range. The 5950x is 16 cores around 5GHz and it's on Amazon for $770. 64GB of Unbuffered ECC RAM and an ASRock Mobo and you can do the build for $2k. You can do it cheaper too if you go to 12 cores or 32GB RAM or whatever. If you know how to overclock RAM (or learn how to use Ryzen DRAM Calculator), you can squeeze out another 10-15% performance in compile tasks. Here is an example build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MnFh68 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MnFh68 And 4 of these for ECC RAM: https://www.newegg.com/kingston-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820242583?Item=9SIA8H5G285858 https://www.newegg.com/kingston-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N8...
