Pinging Network/Virtualization Gurus

Short Version: I may need to stand up a Proxmox machine to run a dedicated OS/application. The hardware requirements for Proxmox are below, as are the "system requirements" for the guest OS/application. Any suggestions on a hardware platform I should be looking at? This is for work, so there is money available, but I may need to eventually stand up several of these, so lower-cost options are preferred. It's not really a critical system, so downtime due to failure would be acceptable. Thanks.

Long Version: Maybe later...if necessary.

Pretty much any server can do that if you use SSD for the storage.

Pick one from whatever OEM you standardize on (HP/Dell/roll-your-own/other).

I've run proxmox on Dell, HP, super micro based self-built, etc, etc. Especially if you are not looking at high availability/a cluster, then it really matters naught.

Heck, even a NUC/mini-pc could do that workload.
