Comment on Home server advice

Tip, if you have the room for it, looking for second hand servers (as in actual servers with server hardware) is often really useful.

As you start hosting more stuff you realize that ram and cpu cores are very limited in consumer hardware. With a shitty second hand server you could have more cores and more ram than anything in the consumer category, and you can stick an old GPU on it if you want some better media performance.

But if you truly believe that you won’t spread out and that potentially 64gb ram and 8 cores will suffice, just go ahead and build it however you want. It is no different from a regular build. Get a nice ssd, get a wired ethernet connection and you are like 90% of the way there.
