Sure Jack, it was a very straightforward build and the recipe looked like this:
Streacom FC5 Evo/Alpha
Asus Prime B660M-K D4
Intel Core i3 13100
Corsair 2*8Gb DDR4 3200(?)
Samsung 980 Pro m.2 SSD 250Gb
Streacom ZeroFlex PSU

All in all nothing exclusive, but still an extremely potent server for Roon.
Some performance figures and power consumption are listed in the linked spreadsheet here:

Performance Matrix Roon Server

I know there are recommendations available for chosing hardware, but there are quite few performance reports from real world examples. Are there more people than me who wants to know what they can expect from, say, a Gen 6 i5 NUC running ROCK compared to an older PC with an Intel Core i5 3470? If so i suggest that we create a matrix within a limited set of boundaries to keep it simple and reasonably comparable and understandable. The only way i know of getting performance figures out of roon is…
