EVE-NG Server choices
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2021 6:40 am
Hi Homelabbers!
I'm looking to setup a new server for EVE-NG to use for my Cisco CCIE lab revision and I wanted some advice on what hardware to go for. It will be to go in my office or possible Garage (more room to have a rack etc), depending on if I can get cabling to Garage.
I've been looking at Dell PowerEdge R710 and Dell T5600. I've been leaning towards Dell T5600 as it would be easier to have in the office with it being a Tower. Nothing too fancy, something off ebay for around £500 is my anticipated spend.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Important factors are it must have dual CPU support (looking at 6/8 core), minimum 64GB RAM and the most energy efficient option is always welcome
