Terence's staking box
Raw
box.md

Background:

I want to take advantage of up-coming black friday sales and build a staking box for eth2

Goal:

Less than $800 USD. 8 cores, 32GB, 1TB SSD

CPU:

Intel® Core™ i7-9700K
Price: $299.98 on Amazon.
Rationale: I want at least 8 cores.

Motherboard:

ASRock B365M-ITX
Price: $90.99 on Amazon.
Rationale: No preference.

Memory:

Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB)
Price: $114.99 on Amazon.
Rationale: No preference, as long as it's 2x16. 1x32 might be better for the future but more pricey and less performant.

Storage:

Western Digital 1TB WD Blue 3D NAND Internal PC SSD
Price: $105.99 on Amazon.
Rationale: No preference.

Chassis:

IN WIN Chopin Black Aluminum
Price: $84.99 on Newegg.
Rationale: I want a GPU less chassis with mini itx form factor. The smaller the better.

CPU cooler:

Cooler Master MasterAir G100M
Price: $44.99 on Amazon.
Rationale: Needs something that fits with mini itx form factor.

@Buttaa suggested 2TB for SSD. My original 1TB underestimated the cost of running an eth1 node
