Anyone familiar with this hardware? Does anyone think I will have trouble installing Artix on it?

Our previous main build server ran Artix in Supermicro EPYC hardware. Given that the company is a respectable manufacturer - unlike HP - and strong player in the server market I'd say with full confidence it won't just run Linux, it'll fly it.
what happened to that box?
It was discontinued by the sponsor because of its age and power consumption, and also its noise production.

That gives me pause. I have a small two room apartment and half of one is already like a server room. Fan noise can be hard and the AMD EPYC™ 7443P Processor 24-Core 2.85GHz 128MB Cache (200W) is a whopping 200W! with x 900W Gold Level (90%) power supply on the chassis
In all fairness to the comparison, some server blades have dozens of fans and sound like airplanes taking off, not to mention those fans draw significant amounts of power. The mid-tower in question is in a completely different category in both noise generation and power consumption. 200W for 24 cores at full load or around 250W total system consumption is pretty low, all things considered.
