That's where I'm not quite sold yet. I don't have a rack (yet). My current server is a 4U tower. I'm debating another one as it takes up less space than a rack, but the price point on these rack mount servers is way better than a "newer than what I have now" tower. Then if you wanted a 2x CPU tower? now you're talking thousands, when you can get multiple CPU rack mount with plenty of ram for a lot less.

Speaking of which. I just looked up those AMD EPYC processors, and yikes are they expensive. lol

Regards,
Nick
