Going to install next week on pole at park, went with the bigger one 17.7x13.7x7.9 with thermostat. Have POE switch, router and 2 cams mounted on the bottom.

In general you should never send VLAN-tagged frames through unmanaged switches, there is no value in doing so. If you do, and the switch faithfully preserves 802.1q, then treat the unmanaged switch as if every port is a trunk port without any VLAN restrictions. Which means all paths out should...
The problems you will have with the Xeon is there is no intel GPU on the chip, dell used 2 MB maxtor video chip on Xeon systems.
You will need to do GPU passthrough, video will still be choppy from my experience. Have a few R720 & R730 in esxi. My esxi I9 11900K blows away and of my dual Xeon...

The Noctua will work, but you will get fan error in the log every 10 seconds on the switch, have replaced a few with them, speed sensor does not work with cisco
