Hello! I am planning a completely new build for my home. Situation now: I have two servers in an vCenter ESXi-Cluster. All together I have two SuperMicro IPMI-Boards each with a Xeon 1231 v3. In total there are about 40TB disk space, 64GB RAM. Like I said, its running with ESXi, Veeam and a heterogeneous environment - Sophos UTM, Linux, Windows, macOS (which I would not miss too much as I have my MacBook). There is also a dedicated gaming machine with an i5 3570k at 4.5GHz, 16GB RAM, 2TB SSD and 1080Ti. What I want: Sell most of the parts and get ONE machine. Why you might ask? Well, because its been a dream of mine for years and I have a feeling that now could be the right time to start. Also my appartement wouldn't look like a server room anymore I am a bit struggling though. Should I get a dual CPU Xeon-Board or an i7 2011 v3? I have a feeling that the i7 would suit me just well. AMD isn't gonna happen right now - because of compatibility issues I am reading about. So it would be mainly m.2 SSDs SSDs some HDD at least 64GB RAM and the 1080Ti. All in one case and a NAS for my backups. I yet have to read about backup possibilities with unRaid but I am not too worried about this - there is always a solution for any problem (well nearly any!). So please help me out. Maybe you have some experience with my situation or can give me some logical advice I am missing. Thanks in advance! -nofan
