Right now, everything's running in my office. A rack-mount server would
make too much noise. If I were looking to splurge, I'd get 3 micro
systems, create a CEPH pool and set up HA on Proxmox instead of buying
one big server.

I have an old desktop system with a 6th gen i5, 4 cores, 4 threads. My
wife used it until she needed a newer CPU for some of her apps.
I'll get that up and running for the time being, that'll throw 4 more
cores and threads into the pool.
