Workstations are (to me, magic) computers that use server processors and server RAM in kind of normal PC cases.
Check out HP z440 and z840 systems on eBay (fleabay?) and Amazon.
- organsnyder 3y agoAll my recent additions to my homelab have been Dell Poweredge SFP systems. Businesses use them for a few years and then upgrading, so they're always available. I do make sure to get ones that have a PCIe slot so I can add a 10gbps card.
- RecycledEle 3y ago> All my recent additions to my homelab have been Dell Poweredge SFP systems. When I read that, I assumed Dell had a line of servers I did not know about. After a few days, I doubt that that is the case. SFP means "Small Form-Factor Pluggable" in my world. It's a connector on a NIC or on a router that lets you pick the physical media you want and then install a SFP adapter. What did you mean to say before spell-check garbled it? Or, am I mistaken?
- organsnyder 3y agoOh! I meant SFF (small form-factor) desktops (to which I add SFP+ cards—that must have been where my mind was).
