Down the Rabbit Hole...but no regrets..maybe..

it started with a youtube video about pihole and i had a n150 LattePanda IOTA laying around and decided to try it out with and install proxmox. next thing, i'm lurking through reddit for inspiration and it turned into this. lazy description below. not the smartest in terms of budget, but it was fun to experiment

still in progress

LattePanda IOTA - Pi-Hole, nginx, vaultwarden, authentik, homarr, homepage (was curious about both dashboards), speedtest, kuma

Minisforum n150 Pro - Plex, radarr, sonarr etc..etc.. with RomM, ollama with intel arc a770(had it laying around) running Gemma4 (not horrible, not great), 5x28tb drives and some nvme drives for cache and os

Thinkcentre 920x - 64gb ram, 5x12tb drives, 3d printed NAS mod, SuperMicro AOC-STGN-I2S, nvme os drive using wireless m.2 a-e adapter thingie,..immich, nextcloud, paperless, etc..

i know for ai, there are better cards, a couple years ago, i bought the a770 when it first came out but haven't had the chance to do anything for it. then in tears, my 4070ti super died, so i opened the box to use this. i love how it looks. how it performs is a different story.

[FS][US-NY] Asus Pro WS W790-ACE w/ Intel and Noctua NH-U9 DX-4677

I finished up another project and have no time for this project and satisfied with my current setup. I figured I'd just get rid of the things i have here in one shot. so here is the deal all of them included.

I know the risks of an ES chip so at your own risk, if it does work, then i think its a steal.

  • Noctua NH-U9 DX-4677- Not used bought for this, but i haven't even started it
  • ASUS Pro WS W790-ACE Intel LGA 4677 CEB Motherboard - used mint bought from amazon for a stupid price but not used by me
  • Intel Xeon Platinum 8480(ES)Server CPU QYFS 1.9GHz 56Cores 105MB 350W LGA4677 - No idea if it'll work, so consider this a freebie that's included with this.

$350 shipped - sold

ITEM SOLD

[PC] Asus Pro WS790-ACE with Xeon Plat 8480 (ES) with unused compatible Noctua CPU cooler

So I was planning on this build, but I'm pretty happy with what I got right now and have no time. I'm basically just want to get rid of them asap, so as a PC what's a good range I could offer where I could sell this quick. I know the CPU has potential as I haven't tested it with the board, so I don't mind going cheap to sell here. But wanted some feedback.
