> In fact, I have two Dell Precision T7810 workstations at home with 144 GB of ECC memory and dual Xeons totaling 36 cores on each machine as my two primary personal computers.

What are you doing that demands this level of equipment?

DevOps and hosting side projects initially. I never approached full utilization (CPU or memory) with either one as a home server, so now I have a third Precision 7810T with 32 cores (dual Xeon E5-2698 v3 processors) and 32GB of memory that hosts all my side project infrastructure at home (in addition to my website).

Lately I've been doing distributed computing, machine learning, and cybersecurity side projects with them. I can run a variety of environments and tools while still using them to game or for everyday computer tasks (running several multi-core VMs is no problem with this kind of hardware).
