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 am not the best at estimating power usage but like I said depends on the configuration it has. That’s just CPU, not including powering everything else so it’s idle load will be higher. RAM, disks, type of disk, amount of disks, GPU or other PCI cards, etc every additional component adds to the idle watt usage.

for sure but even with all my stuff I think that something like that would draw around 40-50W idle and up to 90W running
