Suggestions for mini PC #homelab server appreciated (~1000€). I want it for data analysis tasks (#bioinformatics) which require quite a bit of RAM, but not necessarily a GPU. I will run linux #ubuntu on it and it's not up for discussion.
Wants:
- loads of RAM. 32GB is a start but needs to be upgradeable to at least 64GB, and ideally 128GB
- silent on idle because it will be next to my desk (living room)
- energy efficient (I heard that AMZ ryzen is generally better than intel)
- LAN port
