I have an 10 year old Supermicro X9SCL+-F with a Intel Xeon E3-1230 server that is a little long in the tooth and I am looking to upgrade. I would like a little more horse power and make it a little more energy efficient.
Here are my "requirements" at this time.
I was also looking at the new X12STH line with either a Xeon or Pentium CPU. It looks like it isn't quite available yet, but I am okay waiting a little bit.
It doesn't seem like either of these systems get a lot of attention in the forum here. I didn't know what people thought.
Here are my "requirements" at this time.
- Strong preference towards Supermicro
- IPMI
- 10GB LAN or a PCIe Slot to add a NIC
- PCIe Slot for a sound card (I know this is weird and a waste of a PCIe slot, but I have virtualized my whole home audio server. I could separate this out into a separate low powered device, but virtualizing it all together should be more energy efficient)
- Ability to add Google Coral device (USB is okay, but M.2 would be nice)
- M-ITX would be great, but I don't think it is possible if I want 2 PCIe slots. So M-ATX is fine. I will likely use a short depth 2U case if I have 2 PCIe cards.
- My processor and RAM needs are rather modest compared to what most of you all are running. 64GB should be more than sufficient for now.
- As I am hoping to have this in service for several years I am not as price conscious. I am fine spending a little more to get newer and more efficient technology.
