Hello everyone! I’m new to the forums and will definitely do some digging but I’m wanting to start the rabbit hole of building a home lab. I have zero experience with any of this and was looking for inspiration for where I can start learning.
I consider myself an empty cup on this topic and am looking forward to learning about the entire space!
I’ll be repurposing some older Dell servers that my company is going to decommission soon. One is running a Xeon E5-2620 v3 and the other is a Xeon E2224.
Looking forward to learning new things and poking about with different software!
It’s a 9th gen Intel CPU, it’s not great by todays standards but usable and due to hardware design issues mitigations can kill performance quite drastically depending on workload. Make sure to run the latest BIOS and microcode.
