I currently have a HP Z820 Workstation with 128GB RAM and some SSD drives. CPU = Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2667 v2 @ 3.30GHz (2 Sockets). It runs great, but I am selling it as it uses too much power. About 111 watts to 200 watts depending on what it's doing.
My Goals:
NUC12WSHi5 - $525
64GB RAM - $150
Seagate Firecuda 520 2TB - $180
1TB SSD (Own already)
SABRENT 512GB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2242 - $70
Micro ATX Build:
ASRock B660M-HDV LGA 1700 Intel B660 SATA 6Gb/s DDR4 Micro ATX Motherboard - $89
Rosewill RSV-Z2700U 2U Server Chassis Rackmount Case - $155
Intel Core i5-12600 - Core i5 12th Gen Alder Lake 6-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 1700 65W Intel UHD Graphics 770 Desktop Processor - BX8071512600 - $230
be quiet! SHADOW ROCK LP - $86
be quiet! Pure Wings 2, 80mm Fan - $9
Seagate Firecuda 520 2TB - $180
6TB Mech. HDD - Own
500GB or 1TB SSD - Own
1TB or 2TB Mech/SSD for Emby? - Own
Antec Earthwatts Gold Pro Series EA650G Pro 650W Semi-Modular, 80 PLUS GOLD - $99
Crucial 64GB Kit (2 x 32GB) DDR4-3200 UDIMM - $165
I believe that the NUC will use around 45 watts~ but am not sure about the other build, I know it's dependent on work load but any guess as to how much power it'll use?
Here's what I do with Proxmox, at the moment:
My Goals:
- Save on my electrical bill (less watts the better)
- Have a small foot print (Z820 is a beast)
- Have the power I need
- Buy an Intel NUC NUC12WSHi5 and place on a shelf in my 18U rack
- Build a custom Micro ATX system and place it in a Rosewill 2U chassis to fit in my 18U rack
NUC12WSHi5 - $525
64GB RAM - $150
Seagate Firecuda 520 2TB - $180

Here's what I do with Proxmox, at the moment:
- 5 out of the 20 VMs run most of the time, the remainders are just for testing, learning, etc.
- I run a lot of containers, Linux OS's and a couple of Windows OS's
- The containers are small, mostly web servers, the most intensive ones are TrueNAS and Emby
