We are looking to subcontract a new build of Exchange / Domain Controller. Our thoughts are to buy a used box like this... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Build-Your-Own-Dell-Precision-T7500-12-Core-3-06GHz-X5675-No-OS-Wholesale/382099411087?hash=item58f6e6508f%3Am%3AmoWAAapWvQJ0VWFy5npBnFQ&var=650987938542&_sop=15&_sacat=0&_nkw=dell+precision+t7500+%2212-core%22&_from=R40&rt=nc&LH_TitleDesc=0%7C0
with 48GB. They charge a whopping $ 60 to put in dual TB SATA drives and establish the mirror (RAID 1) for you, so figured we might as well. Although, in reality, I like the idea of an SSD drive for speed purposes, but have not used them in a RAID 1 config. Not sure if this box would support that. Thinking of redundancy, we have a couple ProxMox boxes (pretty loaded but could be used in a pinch to move the DC / Exchange VM over to it (IF we do a VM). So, might be good to do this box as a ProxMox VM also. So, looking for someone who can put this software install together for us for a reasonable price. If you know somebody...
