Yeah, for most people who are looking to build a homelab, this desktop is powerhungry and running on last last year's specs. An ideal homelab setup would be a machine with several efficency cores with a lower overall TDP. Energy costs add up if you're not actively bringing in money (which I assume is most of the userbase on Slickdeals).

Anyway, Supermicro is a really really respected server board brand but this machine is on the depreciation curve that's dramatic given a couple years. Don't buy!

Quote from CyanLeopard7900 :
This is a workstation. If you NEED a server go with a true server - Epycs are getting cheaper. Otherwise you don't actually NEED a server and a more efficient, affordable consumer hardware will work. Nothing more ridiculous than someone burning 500watts/hour to "future proof" their pihole and transcode 200 concurrent videos on Plex when a QNAP would do…

Almost as ridiculous as thinking that servers are about transcoding video. I built an Epyc Milan 24 core server earlier this year. If I hadn't, I'd be all over this deal. Threadripper is essentially epyc with higher clock speeds and a different socket. my use case is SQL server with about 15TB of equity options data.

Interested in what you're doing with that, and how much data it takes to get that to 15TB!!

Sorry sir, but I don't believe you know how Slickdeals comments work. Smilie

If this isn't better than everything else in my edge use-case, or maybe one I've just made up, then everyone is a fool for getting it. There are no use-cases beyond mine that are worth considering. By the way, I'm very smart. Did two tours, worked as a top-boi in whatever industry the thread is about, so I know of what I speak, sir! Sorry to have to own-zone you so hard, but it was for the greater good

Learned a new set of words: own zone

Are there any specific premade setups you would suggest that are on the right end of the curve and will provide efficient value?

For someone that primarily runs CAD software, but would also like to occasionally play games, would this actually be a decent choice to run newer games?

So anyone else get the $700 off? This is like $3000 with tax included. I am wondering if I could just part it out?

Sure, but why spend top-of-the-line money for a 2 generation old CPU core?

Because productivity doesn't need brand new.

Not that you could use two of them for gaming?
it's not made for gaming, it's made for ai, db, research and ray tracing with gpu scheduling. look up vray gpu, you can schedule threads and image ray trace buckets to each gpu in a render station.

62848 passmark for a $2k+ processor seems pretty bad to me.
