I'm thinking of buying refurbished server for Matrix and Peertube however all of those that would make financial sense have Ivy Bridge or older Xeons so it would mean lower single threaded performance than my rented dedi with an i7-3370
@matrix you’re going to buy an entire server?
@matrix how much are they going for?
@kino Something with enough cores and drive spaces would be like $300 and that's without drives and a RAM upgrade.
@matrix that’s not bad at all wow
@kino But you add drives, more RAM, rails and it's already over $1000 
@matrix plus you have to take into consideration the power requirements and the monthly increase to your utility bill + probably the need for business or commercial level internet plans
@kino Or collocation and holy crap I originally didn't look at how much has the exchange rate dropped. I just realized I pay only few € more for renting than I would for collocating.
