@jmarshak - If you are only looking for a Roon Core, probably the most simple and cost effective solution is an Intel NUC server. Last week John Darko released a YouTube video of the complete purchase spec and detailed build. Check it out via the link below. It's a great video that shows how you can simply and cost effectively build a dedicated Roon Core.
If you really want a Roon Core, and you don't want a major investment, the NUC build, as outlined by John, should get you where you need to go.
Good Luck and Enjoy the process........
