seriously this stuff is so good for homelabbing it has IPMI (iKVM requires a java applet but just ditch that and use the serial-over-lan with `ipmiconsole` from yr main computer). it has two ethernet ports, plus the ipmi port. it has PCIe slots. I stuck an NVMe drive in one of the PCIe slots with an m.2 to PCIe 4x adapter so it has 4xgen2 lanes (16gbit/s ish bandwidth). the ram is ECC. its ddr3 but eh whatever you probably dont care for most homelab stuff. yeah you could compile rust faster on a modern top of the line system but you could also drop 1k, 1.5k on that and im not about that life. also ddr4 ecc pricing is nutzo
