What would be cool to have would be OSS BMC software for them.

These were like $3K CPUs (each) back in 2017.

Some friends will definitely put this to good use.

But in today's memory market I'm definitely keeping this. Probably moving it to the storage cluster nodes as additional cache, they only have 48GB each as of now

Pumped the hot air right out of the case, instead of recirculating it!

Never bothered to pull the 10 after installing the 40

I have plenty of machines that could benefit from a 40g nic so definitely keeping it.

I'll be rehoming it along with its siblings.

I'll keep it but haven't decided where I'll rehome it yet.
