I'm thinking epyc for long term, not thinking about resale, my ryzens yes resale in future when time is right. For now keep building cpu rigs mostly on server platform. I'm thinking if I can step away from building rigs with case, psu, cooler, ram , mobo , cpu and go straight to server 48u rack for dirt cheap, some good 2u with liquid and some nice ac in that room it would be best for me. Incan deduct costs and time from building shelves, and I can run alot more cables in a rack then all over the dam place.
it's hard to calculate all the costs, things go on sale, ebay got good deals, the cheaper I can build thr better hardware side but also I don't care about paying a premium for something I'm gonna run long term, warranty and no worries about DOA. Especially if it's ryzen. I did get lucky and got some great ebay deals on "untested" mobo and they all work but one, bought a new board locally and swapped it since I have a BB account and they took it back
Eventually repurpose into a gaming pc sell locally or online but definitely need a plan where not many people buy gaming pc's where I live. Pop is low, shipping is high so I need to invest wisely or I'm throwing hard earned money away for nothing
I want to expand but on my terms. Not when shit is hype and is never talked about much a year later
Slow times perfect time to build a plan. Some hardware here and there. Check in see what all the cpu chat is about, put some hash on spec mine, what ever is hype but always have at least 20 rigs on one algorithm that's my baseline
If it gets to crazy, start bidding on hash again as I have been for the past 4 months lol.
