Hi everyone,
I tend to upgrade my workstation every 3 years or so. But usually with old hardware because I'm cheap .
This is my current config:
Supermicro x9dri-ln4f - 2x E5-2680 v2 - 128GB RAM - 1070ti - Samsung 970PRO nvme - 7x 2TB RAID - Areca 1222 Controller - Mellanox Connectx2 10Gbe.
Has anyone suggestions on what generation the best bang for the buck is at the moment? What platforms are currently being replaced in datacenters etc... I remember there was a huge exodus of e5-2650 cpu's a couple of years ago and the prices where very low.
I would very much like to upgrade to something more modern, with proper pci-e bifucation support etc... an nvme slot on the board would be heaven
Thx for any suggestions!
Karel.
