There are a few roles for servers - API, P2P, HYPERION, and PRODUCER

# Producer Role

EOSIO block producers are mostly single threaded for processing transactions.

...so normally I would never recommend using desktop hardware in place of server hardware, but in the case of producer nodes where clockspeed is king and you can mitigate risk by running a failover node - it's not THAT bad.
You might use a Z490 PRIME mobo with a i9-10900k, water cooling, and 32GB RAM (can't use ECC ram. another drawback to using desktop hardware.) 
I'd recommend a enterprise SSD 
1 out of 6 EVO SSDs have failed completely
