Not so much server-based, but the experimental part of "lab" is well covered: I replaced my late-2013 27" iMac's internal HDD with an SSD. It's a really delicate procedure, as the display is glued to the chassis; it needs to be cut loose and very carefully removed (it's tempered glass), and then re-glued with special adhesive strips. But the performance gain is worth it. In addition, it also now runs Ventura, even with the nVIDIA card, thanks to OpenCore Legacy Patcher. Feels like a new machine now, and is perfectly adequate even for small video editing tasks with its 32 GB RAM.
