    I’d like to know where you can get cheap Supermicro because when I looked into their stuff for my home lab it was way more expensive than Dell. I wanted to build it myself but couldn’t justify the price. I ended up buying used Lenovo servers. I got a complete server off of eBay for less than the price of 1 SuperMicro motherboard.

    Supermicro seems to be the premium brand for servers compared to Dell’s Walmart approach of being cheaper through mass manufacturing with shortcuts wherever a penny can be saved.
