I wouldn't recommend what I do, the platform was a bit of a dead end and I've just randomly chosen a lot of this... CPU: Threadripper 2920x RAM: 128GB DDR4-3600 (ECC would make more sense, I think) Disk: RAID1 gen4 NVMe for the OS, two 5x5TB RAIDZ-2 volumes for long term storage GPU: Arc A750 for transcoding NIC: *bonded* 10GbE (SFP would be cheaper) In a regular desktop chassis, in the corner of my office, with one of the sets of drives coming from an attached pod This is mainly a NAS/transcoding box that happens to run a lot of VMs -- varying purposes, mostly what you'd expect with testing a lot of Ansible
