 i could check with my raspberry "kvm" but i turned it off as a waste of electricity as without atx power control bit it kinda couldn't actually do anything anyway

 apparently you can now buy more assembled one but the price is frankly rather ridiculous

 obvi it's a very handy thing but at the final price, it probably is even higher than a premium you'd have to pay for a proper server board with some included out of band management already

 at the end of the day, of course, the best course of action would be just not trying to emulate a data center at home, where you need to buy a lot of equipment for very low quantity of servers and is subject to retail prices for power and internet connection (at home isp parameters too)
