    I want to reduce wasteful power consumption.

    But I also desire ECC for stability and data corruption avoidance, and hardware redundancy for failures (Which have actually happened!!)

    Begrudgingly I’m using dell rack mount servers. For the most part they work really well, stupid easy to service, unified remote management, lotssss of room for memory, thick PCIe lane counts, stupid cheap 2nd hand RAM, and stable.

    But they waste ~100 watts of power per device though… That stuff ads up, even if we have incredibly cheap power.
