God I miss my old opteron box.
If you're running anything more than about 5 years old you're just going to chew through power for the sake of chewing through power. You can make little reductions here and there but the entire architecture was all wrong for power savings.
A 10th gen intel i3 on a desktop motherboard will absolutely beat the pants off of older server boxes, that and getting away from spending media or the two biggest savings.
