I'm also on the hunt for a decent system with Ryzen 7000. Server systems at this point have honestly gone far beyond what I can use in my home, and in many cases, I can benefit more from clock speed than moar cores. Combined with gobs of PCIe 5.0 on newer server platforms, and the cost is just far beyond what I can justify for use. Supermicro has yet to release anything for AM5. ASRock Rack's board checks pretty much all of my boxes, which is enough room to put in an additional 10Gb NIC and an HBA. Unfortunately though the only Server Barebone ASUS offers with it is a 1U, so it only exposes one slot to a riser and the rest goes unused. Would also be great if the drive backplane supported SAS2/3 vs. SATA only.
Obviously there's always compromises, but it would be great if there was a 2U system that supported a Ryzen board with at least some degree of "it can be cabled together and work" without a huge fuss over wiring harness working, standoffs in the right places, and air shroud / cooling being functional.
