In addition, I require several dozen terabytes of spinning disk, significant solid state storage, XLR audio output driven by a quality DAC, and lots of USB/wireless connectivity. All non-volatile storage must employ redundancy.

Ideally, I want a multisocket NUMA solution to facilitate research on optimizing for such environments. Likewise, I'd like the 512-bit AVX extensions and TSX, for research into compilers, libraries, and code targeting these advanced features. I'd like ECC memory. Beyond that, it's a matter of cores, clocks, lanes, and RAM, the more the better.

I'd like to avoid things I don't intend to use: Intel graphics, VGA outputs, IPMI and other spooky hidden network control stacks, and anything lacking Linux support.
