What kind of juice are you talking? Not that long past, I retired an ASUS Sabretooth not because of any failing, but it was sucking some 240W
doing pretty much nothing at idle. Let alone what it might manage under load.
it jumped from about $78 to about $140 or more. i also had all 6 spinning
disks running in a raid 5 config too. after i found out that the servers
would not take the 8tb drives i got, i decided to move the servers back to my 2009 mac pro. i slapted proxmox on it, and basicly host both the home NAS / Plex server, and my BBS. i am eventually wanting to build a RPi4 BBS box. however i want to test Slackware 15 first with mystic as i have been finding Ubuntu 20.04 LTS having some bug issues with the tmpfs not releaseing space
for the OS / user (Mystic). i am not sure if it is an issue specific to
ubuntu, and there doesnt seem to be very much written on the issue on the web. right now i am testing Slackware15 beta on my laptop right now. so far i have not been able to get the slackbuild to build Virtualbox. once 15 comes out i think i am going to use it as my primary OS.
Thanks
