12th Gen Core i9-12900HK(14C/20T) This is my new server that I got for a steal off Amazon. It has dual 2.5GBE NICs one will be plugged into the Cisco switch and the other will eventually be hooked up to a 2.5GBE switch which will link it to a future NAS. Runs 32GB of DDR4 3200 and a Samsung Evo 990 1TB NVME.
Services running: Dashy, Portainer, Pihole, Nagios, Grafana, Prometheus, Node Exporter, Home Assistant
Broadcom BCM2712 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU, with Cryptographic Extension, 512KB per-core L2 caches, and a 2MB shared L3 cache. Instead of booting off a microSD a friend recommended using a USB 3.0 flash drive to achieve read/write speeds of 150MB per second.
Quad Core 1.2GHz Broadcom BCM2837 64bit CPU. Making use of old hardware laying around. Throw Linux on anything and keep it running for years.

Services running: using it to create a seperate VLAN for my lab environment from my roommate and all his devices and traffic.
Intel(R) Celeron(R) J4125 CPU @ 2.00GHz. This tiny fanless PC is used to route traffic from my default home network over to my Cisco VLAN, separating out my networks. I also have it set up so I can VPN into my home network from my iPhone.
