EDIT : I'm going to use a Lenovo P500 (at around $130) with 8 threads (will upgrade it later) and 64gb of RAM. It support the E5 v4 family so that's great. If someone knows the power consumption, that would be cool!

Hello, I want to build a "homelab" and I'm searching for a server, what do you propose me as good options? I need something with at least 64gb RAM, can buy used, and minimum 16vcores.. Around 150$ If you have any good options let's comment below πŸ‘‡ THX ❀

Look at my edit do you think it's better?

Got a 490W or 650W PSU. Looks like the CPU is probably around 9-10 years. I'd say probably not much. I bet it's idling would be around 120-200W depending on # of disks, disk type, and if your using the PCI slots.

For reference I'm running 4 Intel NUC11i7s, $400/unit bare metal, 64GB ram (2x32) $120-$130, and the most expensive part is the flash storage I am buying to fit my needs. Power on these are like 10W idle and max is like 60W each when using turbo.

do you think that this thing would be around 150W?? I think more about 50W Max, for example the cpu is relatively low-power

For comparison, I run a thinkstation p300 with i7-4790 (TDP 84W) 24/7 and the power usage looks like this:

Even when idling this old processor still guzzles 45W. Certainly not as nice as GP's that only use 10W during idle.

hummm... yeah that's a bit power hungry
