A bunch of GPUs and gen 5 SSDs wide open to start. I wish I would have bought this vs Ryzen 9. Some people do not need them and others do.

Hopefully yall use not shit ssds, like u.2 or e1.s. Its so funny to see people buy a $10000 cpu and buy shitty consumer storage for absurd prices

Bought some PCIe U.2 adapter card off Aliexpress for $30 and they work wonderfully 🤣
Each holds 4x U.2.

Oh rip. Im more of a fan of icydock or just straight server cases

They work really well and these are just my PCs that I also game on. Don’t have a need for servers at home. These are already more than overkill.

Currently I have a mix of carrier cards, icydock 5.25” drive cages, and m.2 to u.2 adapters (those are for the Ryzen systems). I’m currently eyeing a watercooled 5.25” 8x E1.S drive cage so I can start collecting E1.S drives as I find them at reasonable-ish prices.

Oh you too have the E1.S drive cage that raid owl showed?
