Oooh, I forgot about Zabbix. I’ll have to give that a go again.

I’m still working on getting it all organized (physically and electrically), but throwing all the server hardware on its own VLAN isn’t a bad idea.

The occasional rattle doesn’t bother me.

The buzz at a very specific RPM and speed that can’t be replicated willingly is what bothers me.

Like others, I clicked the button to join the waitlist but was never asked for an email or anything.

Yes, it’s plenty. My own “most powerful” server runs on an i7-7700, and I’ve never seen it’s CPU usage spike above 20%.

Intel 14nm CPUs are still solid performers for secondary usage today, mostly because Intel stuck with that process for so long. Even their newest processors on the 10nm process is essentially just a die shrink version of the 14nm process, because that’s how Intel insists on working.
