EDIT : I’m going to use a Lenovo P500 (at around $130) with 8 threads (will upgrade it later) and 64gb of RAM. It support the E5 v4 family so that’s great. If someone knows the power consumption, that would be cool!

Hello, I want to build a “homelab” and I’m searching for a server, what do you propose me as good options? I need something with at least 64gb RAM, can buy used, and minimum 16vcores… Around 150$ If you have any good options let’s comment below 👇 THX ❤

    I’m assuming you’ve never built a computer before because even 32 GB of RAM costs more than $150 🤣

      Huh?
      4x 30€ is not 150€ on my calculator (DDR4 RAM I bought for my Intel NUC which I use as my server)

      Now if we talk about DDR5, 2x 16GB, ECC and registered Kits…That might fit.
      The kit I bought was 148€ in April 2023. Even now it’s 125€.
      And it’s not really an isolated case of cheap ram…
