@Jarian Gibson Didn't you just build a shed and buy a ton of equipment? What else could be a big upgrade?!

I didn't buy a ton of equipment. Been shopping around. I actually cleared out all the 5600 series equipment. Right now only few servers in the rack. About to add some higher end stuff.

Big is a very relative term, my "big" could be smaller than your "big". How "big" are these "upgrades"?

256 cores, 2tb ram, 12.8tb ssd

This is one server or specs from your total collection?
