Specs are slightly in flux right now, but basically it’s an HP ML310e Gen 8, with a random HDD cage on top for 4 additional drives, and a bunch of fans zip tied to the front to cool the 6 internal drives. Oh, and a little 7" display stuck to the side which I’ll get a stats readout on soon.

Xeon E3-1220 v3, 32GB ECC RAM, 40TB array, Quadro M2000.

It’s running Unraid and I use it as a media server (Plex, Sonarr, Radarr) as well as a backup for my music and video production, and general stuff (NextCloud, Photoprism).

The machine itself is so stupid and hacked together, built entirely from used parts I got cheap on ebay. It’s probably cost me £300 max, all in.

    I literally just bought a monitor just like this. It just arrived. It’s still in the packaging.

    I had my Linux install die on me (due to my own stupidity, but I recovered it), and I needed to move my monitor from my gaming PC into the closet where my server lives. This isn’t the first time I’ve had to do something like that, and I was over it. So mini monitor for $40 it is!
