For reasons unexplained, you have no homelab hardware, but $1,000 in cash earmarked for the purpose.

What are you buying, what are you installing on it, and how is it different from what you've done previously (i.e. lessons learned)?

Fastmail or mxroute

The best part of those machines was the warranty service, which I used regularly when I was supporting these machines in production.

12400 is a crazy value rn - $140 on amazon, and no e core shenanigans either

Honestly -- your 9400f should be ok. You'll get 80-90% of the performance of your graphics card. That's not the end of the world. You'll be good until you can upgrade cpu/ram/mb down the line.

Alder lake is also cheap and plentifully available. I replaced 16 cores of sandy bridge xeons with a i5-12400 and it's *so much faster* in every way.

Same. M1 air and a 12400 desktop. Functionally, they're both as fast as I need them to be, which I can't say for the Sandy Bridge workstation I just retired.

I'm jumping from Ivy Bridge to Alder Lake at present... so jumping 9 generations?

opnsense seems to be made by people who don't hate me, so I use that.

Do you run into issues with anti cheat?

Got a friend with a 3d printer? You can make anything rackmount if you try hard enough :)
