Looking to rebuild a server (Windows) for a client and they currently have a full tower system. It's probably overkill for their needs - an accounting app that relies on a SQL Server database.

Checking the CPU usage etc on their existing (Windows Server 2012!!) build shows me the hardware is not being taxed.

Am I crazy for thinking a Minisforum MS-01 is a potential option. Thinking Proxmox / XCP-NG with a Win Server 2022 guest (maybe split the app and DB?).
