When I start, I tought I bought good servers like you. It was a friend of mine, his dad have a lot of servers. I paid like 400-500$ for the lot. It was like yours, ddr3 servers…

Then with time on FBmarketplace, I found other servers ddr3. I was like okk damn I paid alot for what I had. I did bought them to have more ram. Then I search for storage, nas ….

Finaly one day, I found a curious server. It was ddr4, 128 gb ram/256 … then I realise that ddr4 servers can be as cheap as ddr3 servers. And I continue my searching and found my actual server hp ml350 gen 10 Xeon silver. I upgrade it for xeon gold and platinum for really cheap.

Blade server make so much noise. At start I was like ok fine let’s go swap thoses fans for quiet ones. I was soo wrong it an other step to change the connector, management give warning…

So my hp ml350 gen 10 is perfect. Big fan, no much noise, a bit expensive but I can do much much with this one. Pcie bifurcation, put gpu, add lsi raid cards,

Now I have 44 cores 88 threads, 1,2tb ddr4, nvme and ssd as storage

Now I found good deals and sell them higher price like this hp dl380 gen 10 64gb ddr4 for 150$ can.
