The HPE Gen10 MicroServer (but BIOS only with contract or under

The Gen8 works fine once you set the disk controller to plain SATA
mode
instead of the default hardware raid mode.
Haven't had a chance to try the newer versions, but I wouldn't expect
any trouble
Unfortunately it's barely more powerful and the Marvell RAID/S-ATA
controller seems to be really buggy on opensource OSes. And no iLO.
It's closer to the G7 than the G8 in design. At least it does 32Gb of
ram.
Next step up is the Supermicro, but it's also a step up in budget :

128Gb of ram, and a Xeon-D 1541 included. It can be boosted to a Xeon
1567 for 4 extra cores.
I decided to boost my MicroServer G8 to the max whilst I save up for
the SuperMicro...

Thanks Noth, I use the SYS-5018D-FN4T with a XeonD1541 as power
efficient webserver
(https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/1u/5018/sys-5018d-fn4t.cfm),
which is great. The 5028D is the tower variant and too big for my
purpose hren, and it is really a step up to my budget.
