Hi,
I read a lot here, but without finding really the information I am looking for.
I am running a home-server based on a 10 years-old hardware (proxmox, 4 VMs & a few containers). It's based on a ASUS P8H77-I (mini ITX) / i5-3470 and 2 x 8 Gb. It is running a 256 Gb SSD for OSes and 3 x 6 Tb WD Red drives for ZFS.
Idle consumption is quite low but far from perfect, and honestly, I will need more performance soon : I miss RAM and CPU performance. So I must find a new MB / CPU / RAM combo.
Ideally I will buy on second market something 2-4 years old hardware. Mandatory : NVME support, 32 Gb capable mainboard. If possible, something with IPMI would be great. And of course, low consumption & cheap lol !
If you have ideas or experience reports with your own hardware... Thanks for your help !
