Maximum ghetto home server

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.

  • How is that ghetto lol. Now, I’d understand if you were like me with a crusty ass laptop in the corner of my room 2500km away from me, running some Linux and 4 external hard drives, but Xeon and ghetto?
