Below is the hardware I use for development and home use of my ROCK sensor. It’s an extremely powerful system in a small form factor, under $1000. The most important aspects to me were that I wanted IPMI for baremetal remote management, dual Intel NICs, quiet, and relatively low-power. I sit by this thing and work everyday and don’t want to wear hearing protection while I write code.
The prices reflect what I paid for them in March 2016. No doubt the prices will have changed and newer, better stuff is probably available. Things like RAM and SSDs go on sale all the time, so look for that if you’re a bargain shopper.
