My current home server is a couple of years old, built on an early Xeon Scalable (FCLGA3647) in a C622 based motherboard. I have seen some decent prices on Xeon W-3200 processors (also FCLGA3647) with the same core count but 1GHz+ higher base clock speeds. The W-3200 processors are intended...

Hopefully this pointer will help someone facing the same challenge - a couple of years ago, I realized that I wanted a battery backup for the ONT terminating fiber service to my house. I had about half an hour runtime for the entire equipment rack (~500W) but wanted to take it further and it...
