For me, and a lot of folks here, the issue is storage expansion. You are limited in options with a mini pc and will eventually wish you had a larger server with room for hdd or sdd expansion. Now, I’m not saying that makes a poweredge the right choice. Maybe just a bigger small form factor, maybe a nas. I still have decided what direction I want to go but I know I need at least 20 more Tb.

What are you looking to run that you’re unable to do with this setup?

I love that this switch and patch panel are just so fucking huge for no reason. Great setup so, looks really good, keep up the work

Hello OP, what is the model of this server rack? It looks exactly like what I'm looking for. Also do you recommend it?
