[WTB] Dedicated Bare Metal – 20–32+ Physical Cores, 64–128GB DDR4, SSD – ~€50/mo

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a budget dedicated bare-metal server for Proxmox virtualization and CPU-intensive workloads.

I'm particularly interested in older enterprise hardware, dual-socket Xeon systems, EPYC servers, clearance stock, and upcoming Black Friday deals.

Requirements

  • CPU: Minimum 20 physical cores, preferably 24–32 or more. Dual-socket configurations are welcome. Please specify the exact CPU model and core/thread count.
  • RAM: Minimum 64GB DDR4, preferably 96–128GB.
  • Storage: Minimum 500GB SSD, preferably 1TB or more. NVMe is preferred, but SATA/SAS SSDs are perfectly fine.
  • Additional storage: HDDs are a big plus, ideally two drives with RAID1 support, but not required.
  • Network: Minimum 500Mbps, preferably 1Gbps unmetered. Please disclose any traffic limits, fair-use thresholds, or throttling policies.
  • Virtualization: Full root access and Proxmox compatibility.
  • Location: Worldwide, no strict preference.
  • IPv4: One public IPv4 is sufficient.

Budget

Around €50/month (~$55–60), preferably including applicable taxes.

I'm willing to pay a reasonable one-time setup fee if it helps keep the recurring monthly cost low.

I'm looking for a long-term rental rather than a short-term promotional offer, so predictable monthly pricing is important to me.

Custom configurations, refurbished enterprise hardware, Black Friday offers, and optional RAM/HDD upgrades are all welcome.

I know I'm asking for quite a bit at this budget, but hey, if you've got an old dual-Xeon machine collecting dust somewhere, I'd be happy to give it a second life :)

Please include the exact specifications, monthly price, setup fees, bandwidth terms, and current availability in your offer.

Thanks!
