Hi folks,
I want to build a small server and need some opinions.
Purpose of the build: Small All-In-One Home Server (OpenHab, Couple of small VMs, a bit of storage, maybe firewall / VPN appliance)
So overall, not tooooo heavy stuff.
Most important:
- decent energy on idle
- long life @ 24/7 (not taking power supply life time into account)
After doing some CPU research, I ended up with the conclusion that the Core i7-8700T is my favor at the moment.
Now, I have no experience with Core i CPUs at all. Only used Xeons so far. Unfortunately, I can't wait for the Xeon E-2100 to be available. But on the other hand, I want the most recent architecture and Supermicro has a nice range of 1151 boards for the 8th gen Core processors.
I will be fine with I/O. My main consideration is non-ECC. No experience with that. How much does it matter running 24/7?
Recommendations?
