This is why i’m building a server with a DDR3/Phenom II motherboard.

I have 96GB of ECC DDR3 laying around with nothing to put it in. I should find some low-power hardware that will take it.

No chipsets from that era that handle 96GB are going to be affordable to run - unless you’ve got excess solar or something.

Move to a colder climate and offset it by using the waste heat!

I’m in Australia. The only thing higher than the mercury is the power bill.

I skipped on solar when building the house. Maybe I should look at doing that. My whole cabinet idles at 100w. The RAM is in an old Cisco 1U server that idles at 130w and is actually slower than my 4th gen core i5 server. It’s never going into prod.
