Hi,
I currently run a home server since 2014, based on a SuperMicro X10SLL+-F and a Xeon E3-1230v3.
Running ESXI 7, hosting an OmniOS guest for ZFS and a Windows OS for applications. Everything has been running silky smooth with close to 0 maintenance or problems during software upgrades.
As the hardware is getting a little long in the tooth, I've been looking for an upgrade.
I have been unable to find a reasonably recent upgrade that doesn't cost too much.
I was paid around $700 at the time for the current hardware, so I was looking to pay up to 800-850$ for a new current gen system that will last me 8-9 years, or around 500-550$ for a coffee lake gen system or better that will last me 6-7 years. Without DRAM, for a 6 core part at least.
Everything seems old and expensive. Focusing on server market hardware as everything just works rather smoothly, and there are usually no compatibility issues.
Limited to Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX board sizes due to the compact chassis.
Anyone has any ideas?
Thanks
