Most likely, yeah.

A rogue employee, if you can find one.

Thing is, at the scale that a home server is likely to be providing, you don’t really need an upgrade at all for any of the components except storage and maybe a 2.5gig ethernet card depending on services available.

Also, like the other commenter said: SSDs. SATA ones (unless you have free PCIE lanes then use an m.sata adapter board).

For a personal server, just buy a liquidated office/business workstation and add storage as needed. Probably will still be cheap since the win10 EOL has led a bunch of those machines onto auction sites.

From “EV conversion kits” to “offline conversion kits”.

It’s not showing on my client either, hopefully they edit their comment.

Speak for your self - scored a nice GPU upgrade during the crypto crash, maybe something similar will be achievable after this insanity hits the brakes.
