EDIT : I’m going to use a Lenovo P500 (at around $130) with 8 threads (will upgrade it later) and 64gb of RAM. It support the E5 v4 family so that’s great. If someone knows the power consumption, that would be cool!
Hello, I want to build a “homelab” and I’m searching for a server, what do you propose me as good options? I need something with at least 64gb RAM, can buy used, and minimum 16vcores… Around 150$ If you have any good options let’s comment below 👇 THX ❤
I’m assuming you’ve never built a computer before because even 32 GB of RAM costs more than $150 🤣
32 GB of DDR4 RAM is about 70 USD here. But you don’t need 32, you can selfhost plenty of stuff on 16 or even 8 GB. Heck I ran mine on an old 4 GB stick for a couple of years when I first started.
I ran about 10 orb12 docker containers on my raspverry pi with 4gb of ram + Debian (and OMV5).
Red lined the thing plenty of times.
Bro think about used part and I don’t need 7200mhz ddr5
Huh?
4x 30€ is not 150€ on my calculator (DDR4 RAM I bought for my Intel NUC which I use as my server)
Now if we talk about DDR5, 2x 16GB, ECC and registered Kits…That might fit.
The kit I bought was 148€ in April 2023. Even now it’s 125€.
And it’s not really an isolated case of cheap ram…
