I do a lot of VMWare work but I'd like to tinker with proxmox at home- I just don't want to bring an awful old HPE server/etc home to try it out on-

Anyone have any reccomendations for a quiet, small homelab server with a solid (12-16 thread) core count?

I run a half dozen smallish VMs and some containers on a NUC using Proxmox. It’s very quiet despite having a fan. My other gear is all fanless including a 10Gbe switch and an OPNsense box.
