I really appreciate the information, it's very interesting to me. Given that you have a fairly specific price in mind for a server, what kind of hardware are you thinking of?

Something with Dual CPUs, at least 128GB ram, dual 750W PSUs, hardware raid (12Gbps) and 8 x 2.5" SAS/SATA slots for SSD Drives on a raid 10

Ddr4 or 5? I might have 128gb of rdimm ddr4 I'm never going to use sitting on my desk.

ECC memory though?

Yeah registered dimm 4x32g. I couldn't find a way to put it in a low powered quiet box without spending a bunch of money. My home lab stuff is ddr5 now.

This sounds exactly like the poweredge r530 I have in my homelab. Managed to snag it on eBay with those specs, minus drives, for $350.

The 530 is 2U, the 630 is 1U size factor. Looking more at the 630
