1 year agoThat thing will be pretty loud especially if not cooled during your summers. Just be mindful of that. I might just upgrade the ram to keep the silence of the towers.
I’d look at Lenovos P620’s. It’s a threadripper pro cpu and you can stick up to 512gb ram in it. They’ve been around for a few years now, I got mine in 2021, so you may be able to find them cheap. Lenovo also has slightly smaller workstations that would manage all that but I think they’re pretty new so you’d be buying directly from them. Let me know if you have any questions about the p620. I have a 12 core with 128gb or ram and it’s a great home server and would run that workload just fine. Midtower case that’s really quiet.
