Yea, even though it seems a lot, I am running more efficiently, w loads more cores, than my previous Farm with much older tech. AMD 2000 stuff may be my next new generation, as people upgrade to 3000. Simply to keep some costs down, yet still save a ton in electric use. We'll see. If I can continue my car count increases, at work, I may get some bigger monthly bonuses. That will go a long way towards upgrading the Farm, sooner. I hope! My Xeons, all 225W's of them, are 6/12 and the options of 8/16 core AMD's are simply awesome in comparison.
Each of the T3500's will hit 6-7000 ppd the 2700's from AMD almost double that, for less W's. Win/Win, no? Plus, the small form factor boards are very good for crunching, with the right VRM's, and will free up my rack space, too! LOL. But, it's the cost per box...case, PSU, DDR4...We'll see.
rough estimate of one replacement box for my Farm. Nearly a hundred Watts less, 8/16 vs. 6/12. $400+ dollars more than one T3500 all set up.

I could go cheaper on the case, but I love these, and I could just get a spinner HHD, that might be the route I go but, SSD's are cheap also. That's my initial goal, build 2 of these by next winter and retire the T-3500's
