You're out of my league with processing power and needs.

Stuff like this is cheap as dirt for what it is because most people don't want to buy it, have no idea how to use it and they are power hogs.
I have managed a FX2 system before and it was great. It's almost shocking to me how "cheap" this is. If I had a good place to put it I could replace my entire homelab with it easily. It would cost me MUCH more to build out separate nodes for my proxmox system.
They are loud, they run hot but you get a ton of RAM and a lot of cores. You can get sleds that are just for storage too. It would be a single point of failure if you don't have 2 but come on. 10gb networking? Ton's of ram, tons of core's, multi node? If you don't care about power and the heat its going to put off this is CHEAP.
If the listing is not bunk, thats half a TB of RAM. Each node having 256gb and 32 cores. All for ~$1200
