Fuck I literally have a stack and only 2 acting as a host system for some face plate bullshit server I made.

Need more ideas on what to do with these things lol

Yeah I'm bored as fuck and wanna make a server built for gaming because it happens to have enough drive bays and compute power to be doing literally everything I'm already doing but better

Is there a pcpartpicker equivalent for servers

I'm thinking it's about time to put together a file server. Got a lot of shit all over various machines that I want to consolidate to one file server.
- Thinking RAID5 with 3x 1TB WD Red drives. Gives me 2TB of space + 1TB parity. I don't have much data, mostly pictures and stuff but I'll probably start ripping my DVD collection to stream once I get this up and running. Seem like enough storage?
- Was going to take the guts out of an old Dell OptiPlex 9010 USFF. 2nd gen i3, 16GB DDR3 RAM. Should be powerful enough right? Just need to find a case that will fit the mobo (assuming Dell didn't jew out and make the mobo a non-standard size).

Hey /hsg/ why don't people use laptops for servers? They're laptops! They consume less energy than desktops, so why don't more people use them?

Also, what do you use a server for?

Is a server rack even worth having?

Nah def gonna need 8 cores 16 threads 1080ti and 32gb ram to run raid......

>gutting out 9010 usff
Im planning on doing the same but for my plex server. From what I've read the newer optiplexs mostly are atx but the motherboard headers (power switch, reset) are non standard.

Sounds like wasted potential
Here's my server specs
>Dell Optiplex 745
>Pentium D
>3.5 GB DDR2 RAM
>2 ATA HDD of 280~GB each
>Debian Stable
>Samba
Running smoothly since 2015, streaming 4k porn, blueray rips, and all kind of shit I torrent

I LOVE BOOKS.
AND THIS BASEMENT... IS A TRUE TREASURE TROVE!

Anyone else here running a Dell r710?

I have a few, good price/performance. Wish they used a bit less power though, they idle around 150w.

it becomes more and more so the more machines and other equipment you have.

I have one aswell. Pretty great and ohhh sooo cheap on ebay.

Uninstalled Proxmox in favour of VMware. Have I made a terrible mistake?
I only have 24GB of memory and the VCSA seems to take up about 10GB if you want cloning, templates and so on?

Also anyone know where I can find VMware keygens or similar to register with?

Probably forgot some things
Why is rrdtool such a pain to setup

TPB for the crack.
I set my vsca to 8gb and it runs fine, takes ages to load though.

Thanks user, shall try TPB.

Source on your image? I bet its a french animation of some kind.

Ive got my old sony vaio running apache, sql, and a samba share right now after a based user on here mentioned using their vaio as a server. Its no beast by any means but it works quite nicely. I keep it closed sitting on a shelf and it stays pretty cool. I need to do some more work with it though. This was mainly just a test to see how well it would work. I need to tweak it and maybe add a cooling pad.

I need to make a local media server and i was thinking about how to use my drives... Should I use raid0, jbod or just use them without caring about partitioning them?
I don't really care about performances, since I'm working fine with a 5400rpm Hdd (just testing plex on an old notebok)
