Hey all!

Hope you all are doing well, I’m looking to build out my current homelab which is two mini PCs that I salvaged from my employer (one was a Intel OPS PC and the other a lenovo M93 Micro) paired with a linksys router (I forget the model)

I was looking at 1st and 2nd gen Threadripper chips (specifically 1950x and 2950x) and wanted to know what you all recommend.

I want the pcie lanes so I can pick up another graphics card (in addition to my current 1060) and some nvme cards.

The prices don’t seem to be competitive with the Epyc chips mentioned above.

Still a nice mention as I come in contact with these every once in a while.

Regarding the pre built systems I didnt mention I’m tight on space. Max depth of my rack is 20 inches. I can increase the height of a custom system and thats the plan.
