it's not, you're just autistic.

It's fun at home
for yourself

Not when you have a building with 50 retards in it to manage

It's fun to build something that you can use and enjoy.

Planning to get Odroid XU-4 with 4Tb WD RED for my 1st NAS. I will start trying to put up backup machine, seedbox and general storage accesible from outside my home.

How am I doing it?

An autist calling an autist autist is pretty autistic if you ask me.

100% autistically

I just acquired an old Dell Precision 690 workstation for free. Right now it only has a single Xeon 5130, 2 gigs of DDR2 ECC, and a Quadro FX 550. The motherboard has two LGA771 sockets and eight RAM slots, so I can slap in two quad cores and 32 gigs of RAM for fairly cheap. It also has a bunch of SATA ports and a SAS controller, so I can play with that. I'm planning on turning it into an ESXi box since I haven't had a chance to really play around with virtualization.

From the thumbnail in the catologue it looked like a super awesome case with like two large towering parts and a smaller middle. Looked really sweet.

Until i opened the picture.

Now i want this.

Why?

>>55754759
I second that OP. Been running my setup for almost a year now.

HP MicroServer running CentOS
12TB Raid 5, 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD

Also running a patch panel setup, looking at getting a rack mount UPS to add, did you notice yours increasing your electric bill by much?

what do you use the ssd for?

It's pretty fun at large scale, too, once you take a chainsaw to the red tape...

Boot drive and quick access
