Hi All,
I'm planning to build a new ESXi home server running dual Xeon Silver 4110 with a SuperMicro X11DPi-N. The motherboard I can get locally at central computers for $499 while the processors run $549. For RAM, my local used server surplus store selling 8GB ECC 2400 MHz for $80/stick. These seem to be decent prices on the parts from what I've seen online, however I was wondering if anyone here has found better deals from reputable/reliable sources (other than going the QS/ES route).
Also, I see that supermicro sells passive variants of the heatsink. Is this the same as previous generations where these are for special applications with air tunnels?
Thanks in advance!
