I want to redo my homelab setup. I’m probably going to relent and go x86 just because parts availability sucks here but those boards have low power draw, decent IO, small so you can design your own case easier, and I like the idea of keeping away from x86 if I can.

This thing is gonna run routing traffic and downloading shit and hosting my media etc. that means it’s ideal most of the time so low power draw matters more than a gaming pc would.

I’m also hesitant to use x86 chips for anything directly exposed to LAN. The backdoors in those things are crazy and I am just not skilled enough to do much about them.
