My Intel NUC server just died (whenever it’s plugged in, it makes a buzzing noise, and the external power LED is off (the internal one is on tho)), so I need a new server box. Any recommendations?

I can salvage the RAM (16 GB DDR4) and hard drive (1TB HDD) off of this one, I believe.

    I don't know how well your box performed, but I recently snagged a fujitsu esprimo box with an i5-6500. It has 5 sata connectors and two m.2 slots. There's space for two hard drives and there's like 5 low profile PCIE slots (2x x16 and 2x x4 I believe)

    I think they're a great deal (if you get the right CPU). Apart from the weird OEM PSU and motherboard, it's a pretty bonkers box, and I got mine for 40$, which was very lucky
