Get the Z series workstations from HP instead. They are much better options for home.

They all seem to be much more GPU-focused? i.e. completely different product segment? And mostly (with a couple of exceptions) significantly larger than something named "MicroServer".

They are perfect for data crunching as well as GPU related purposes.

For IO: My 8 year old one lets me saturate SATA at 500megabyte per second. With SAS which it also supports it's supposedly 3000megabyte per second, bit I have never tried it.

For memory: ECC

For processing: Dual Xeon CPU config

For storage: Nice storage pods.

For admin: Out of band ILO like functionality, although I've never tried it

For home: SILENCE! My machine measures at 32db
