I am currently looking into upgrading storage for my homelab. The two routes I am looking at are grabbing a dell r730 or a disk array. They are both about the same price, but my major purchase concern is heat and noise. My office/homelab is in a 10x10 foot room. I have worked hard to get the sound floor at my desk to be around...

Does anyone knows why most Epyc CPUs and MB on eBay are shipping from China? Does anyone here has experience buying a used CPU/MB from China?
