Ok 
Good application, I support it and you have my vote
If you plan to place in a dc, be sure to do it WITH a gpu.Otherwise you are not complying with the requirements and will not recieve compensation.
Thanks for your respond, I will certainly do everything according to the norms and build server with GPU, which I already have, MSI GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER.
