thinking about moving /indexing more bare metal with some /homelabs two distinct potential versions: 1/ "processing hub" -> need ~1:1 ratio between # of CPUs and # of GBs of RAM -> ideally runnable as a cluster 2/ "storage hub" -> need 100+ TB in RAID -> ideally accessible from a processing cluster (NAS?) It's been a few years since I built out a homelab - any updates on best practices, places to shop, etc?

and no, running LLMs continues to *not* be a factor here π

1/ 96c/192t threadripper with lots of ram? but a build like that will handle more than 196gb ram. Im all for spending 10k+ on a cpu but im not sure if its actually worth it lol. I can only imagine how unstable that thing would be. 2/ any machine will do for this purpose. if you want lots of nvme SSD's, you will want a server-grade cpu with the pcie lanes. But if you plan to use sata drives, you just want to find a mobo with lots of sata ports. I would recommend a less power hungry cpu as you don't really need juice here, just stability. I personally don't think there is any right or wrong way to approach a homelab. I personally prefer building everything and using what I have. Some like buying used dedicated server hardware. All I will say, is that high end parts have been the least reliable for me compared to mid-grade. May not be as problematic with server grade hardware, but definitely be careful with like 5090's or intel i9's/ ryzen 9's.
