Anyone done a super super cheap build for a physical DC, I'd like one with at least 2 network ports on-board but suppose I could add more with an AIC.

Is there a gotcha with using really cheap procs, like would a Celeron not really be usable?

Do you need TPM ?
I guess it completely depends on how big the forest your dealing with and how busy it is. Is I’d also doing dns,dhcp, etc as that would impact load.

If your talking home lab, then done it on a celeron NUC before and no issues at all at that scale.

i used to run a sandybridge i3 for a small lab. add an intel dual port nic and you got your 2 port requirements met.
