My university had excedent servers after cloud migration and were going to throw them out. Any tips for sourcing drives and ram?

        Depends on how you buy it. If you keep power consumption at the top of mind, and you stay about 3 years back in the early refresh cycle, you can do very well.

      Was gonna say this. They are fun to play with but they are LOUD, expensive to run, and likely overkill for most home jobs.
