The easiest would probably be the smallest plausible set of actual server components in a 5u/tower case, but a custom eATX could go a little further with the cost cutting.

Then I’d stop at claiming “best” is meaningless in a military context without defining what the mission is. If it is starting wars, I’d say it’s great. If it means achieving goals, then it’s kind of meh.

I really think a desktop Oxide machine, with the minimum meaningful hardware to demonstrate why it’s different from a generic amd64 server, would be an interesting idea. At this point I don’t know the exact value proposition of the software

It's much easier to optimise an easy to understand program than it is to debug a highly optimised one.
