Perhaps a good opportunity to ask - for a long while now I’ve been hoping that some manufacturer took on a task of producing a good server suitable for this / homelab purpose? Something that allows a ton of ram (512gb at least?) to run VMs, middle of the road cpu with a ton of cores but energy-heat-noise friendly frequency, ssd, and all in a tiny, quiet, and attractive shell the size of a router that sits on a bookshelf? One can dream. But point me kindly to something that isn’t a rack mount pizzabox that sounds like a jet?

- mitjam 4y agoSuperMicro has Xeon-D 1700/2700 boards and matching Mini tower cases for up to 20 Cores, 512 GB ECC RAM and redundant 25 or 10 gbe and 1gbe ports on board - Not cheap, though: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/embedded/servers https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/embedded/servers the prebuilt servers have smaller cases with noisy small fans but you can combine some boards with the mini tower with larger fan.
- numpad0 4y agoDo you really need more than … 128GB of RAM? Most desktops can do 64GB, some ITX and most ATX board can be populated for 128GB, beyond that require server platforms with >2 DIMM channels or LR/RDIMM. Most people should be fine with an office mini-desktop like ThinkCenter Tiny line, sketchy(sorry!) Docker features on a NAS kit, or even an Amazonian Celeron mystery boxes.
