Additional Comments:
Actually following up on this from a previous thread. I looked at the Dell and HP workstations and decided to do DIY. I want to look at both Intel and AMD sides and make a decision.
Again, just using this machine for lab setup/testing, I already have hard drives for backup but yea to learn some tools will need to build a home server.
I don't think VM's or docker containers will be an option as I will need more RAM for that and I think the minimum ram I would need is 32GB
for OS will need either windows 10 or windows Server.
I just want an extra machine for this kind of testing that isn't my laptop.
