Currently I run Proxmox on an optiplex 3010. It runs well, I just have a Windows server DC Desktop edition and 2 Linux servers
On the linux server though, I am beginning to want to run a NFS I can access remotely. I have the Server Samba share running, but this entire build is currently running off of a PNY CS900.
Im looking to upgrade because Im limited to 16GB of Ram currently, and I also have read I may be more bottlenecked from better storage due to my Mobo.
looking at an Optiplex 7070 for 250$ right now
Just wanted Datahorder opinions on the type of low spend build I would be looking at. Should I just buy a DAS? Is there some insane benefit to buying a budget gaming PC? Currently my mentality is as long as I can have the Ram I need, and good storage, nothing else tends to be on my radar.
