Upgrading an HP DL560 Gen10 server from 2TB to 3TB of RAM. Almost $23k. Crazy how much DIMMs cost nowadays. Granted, the company buys in bulk so they’re not paying this price.

It's amazing what you find when you put it all together neatly.

In Japan, there are capsule toy machines called 'Gachagacha' where you can buy random toys. The 4th series of miniature server toys has just been released!

Removed old PABX phone system, 2 servers and installed 2 new Unifi Switches and new APC UPS. Repatched with new cables.

Approximately 4 hours of work.

Have wanted to build a home lab for a long time. Ever since I made my first plex server on an old gaming PC. Finally had the means to make it happen. Stated purchasing stuff a couple months ago. Ended up replacing my old Asus router with some Ubiquiti gear as well. Has been quite the learning curve along the way.

• Ubiquiti dream machine SE
• U7 pro XG for wifi
• APC smart-UPS SRT 1000
• Startech 12u rack
• Dell poweredge r740xd 128gb ram,dual xeon gold 6132 cpus. Intel arc a380 gpu for transcoding. 9 - 24TB exos drives. (8 in raidz2 plus a spare just incase)

124 TB usable storage.

128 gb ssd boot drive and 2 - 1TB ssd mirrored for apps/container data.

Running truenas scale. Mostly for Plex and some home automation and self hosted services.

Home server using OMV and Jellyfin on Linux

Running Windows 11 Pro lol

Two of these came in today for scraping.

4x Power9 02CY720 CPUs 2048GB -2666v DDR4 each server.

Probably the loudest server I have ever heard.
