Those are very good options. I considered those for a 3 node proxmox cluster.
In the end I went with HP t630's. They're much less powerful, but they're also much cheaper and very small! Dell Wyse 3040 or 5060's are also fantastic options. I liked the t630 because it has a proper sata SSD slot and will take up to 64GB RAM. The power bricks are also quite small too.
I'm going to use mine as a home lab testing environment for cluster learning. I'm curious what kind of performance I can get by placing 3 kubernetes nodes on each and spreading out the workload across the differnt devices.
Thank you as well for those recommendations. I was looking for some lighter powered and serviceable servers.
As time goes on, for the sake of portability, it seems useful to have one appliance dedicated to the physical house, one for personal/family, and then to the extent of hobby or playing with tech, higher powered servers are useful.
I have been trying to stay with Intel 64 bit to keep things easy but will probably get dragged back towards arm and 32 bit.
