Maybe, but power consumption can get steep with some server boards/chassis which might tip the balance over time.

Wouldn’t it have been cheaper to get a motherboard with IPMI/BMC?

Don’t have some Intel CPUs Intel vPro making you also able to control the PC in a LVM manner?
I havent tried it yet but my (so far) research suggests its possible and it would be a useful feature for those repurposing old workstation pcs as servers.dan@upvote.au 10 months ago
I think so, but I don’t have any vPro capable CPUs so I haven’t been able to try it.

I think some other CPU/MBs also have this feature.
But I would giess they are only implemented in business scopes like the Pro/EliteDesk line from HP and the other SIs equivalent.

Would’ve loved to gotten one of those. But the power consumption of a Xeon is a bit higher than I’d like. This was a nice to have, not need to. It was a Christmas gift from my wife 🥰

Aww, nice gift!
I’m using a workstation board in my server. Asus Pro WS W680M-ACE SE along with a Core i5-13500. Intel support ECC for consumer CPUs but only when using workstation motherboards :/. The IPMI on this board works well though.
