I'm looking for the best deal on 3x 1u dual CPU servers with a budget of $1500 total for the lot. I'd like to run a number of prod/non-prod VMs in the homelab for learning VMware and/or KVM. I'm a fan of Supermicro and Dell, but I'm having difficulty finding the best deal on a dual CPU system with decent enough CPUs and RAM (48+ GB would be ideal), has rails included, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg for power. Complete systems are idea, but I could source HDDs after the fact if that means getting a better deal on the rest of the system.
Thanks for the help!
