What a disaster. I love it. Keep em coming

it's cool I can feel the radio magnetic radiation through the screen. good heater for winter.

I feel you man im turning 30 too with up comming kid, and i have so many pcs and servers with no use.

i have that same board and similar CPUs, hehe. love the older xeons, even if they are toasty. Nice little video man, first one of yours i've watched. like your little rack set up as well!

I definitely prefer thin clients, but after seeing this “disaster“ 😂 I’m really feeling the need to go tinker. Kinda inspirational. So, thanks!

i freaking love this

what a mess 😂 i’m in my mid 20s and just started experimenting with a home server and proxmox also partly thanks to hardware haven. This video is like seeing into the future!

The ex datacenter tech in me is cringing hard but at the same time I love it. I'm finishing up rebuilding my proxmox server (going from an old Xeon to not so old Epyc), I know how much fun getting everything configured and working can be.

A real Frankenpc uses sh*t tier power supplies from mostly unknown/infamous manufactures. Like many Spaniards using Tacens and Nox ones (both are abominable).

Now this is a fun looking machine, I enjoy the janky just works aesthetic of the system. I’m looking to do a similar thing but not to the same scale. I might pick up a first or second generation EPYC chip or one of the new AM5 EPYC chips but I have not decided what is the best course of action. (PCIE lanes vs speed/efficiency.)

I’m really liked seeing your monster you created to be honest. It looks like it was fun to slap together. I have a tech Chanel myself and I’m trying to learn how to better use truenas scale or find a better alternative that’s free. I just want to know what’s a better option for a newbie. My goal is to have 2-3 14tb drives plus an nvme or two for cache and or storage and I’d like to have a few apps. I currently have a great wired network so bandwidth isn’t an issue but I’d like to find an easy solution. Should I just splurge and get a Synology that has thr hardware support ? Or I’ve got a z690 board with 48gb ddr5 and everything except a cpu ready to go. So all I’d have to do is buy like a 124$ 12600k or something to complete the rig and toss all my storage in it. For proof of concept I snapped one drive on a janky dual core i5 2nd gen and got it up n running tonight. It seems like a super basic os with a bit of a learning curve but I love the videos and features synology has but the unit I’d want is about 400$ or so and I currently have better hardware minus the cpu on that spare rig I mentioned. It’s just a spare rig with leftover parts really lol. Hopefully you have some input for me. Thanks man

I’d just start mining on them

Looks a bit like my mining rigs back when bitcoins were around a dollar each. My setup was janky but I was mining 3 coins a day at one point. Of course, I didn't save any like an idiot because everyone I knew though I was being scammed so I stopped and sold everything... I'd be a Millionaire now loling at them, I mined a few hundred of them- stupid peer-pressure, they tell me now that I was right but that's worthless- oh well, I enjoy my life so I can't really complain too much.

If it ain't jank, are you really home labing? 😀

would you consider doing some 2011-3 the Xeon e5 -v3/v4 series for server im running x5650 x2 48gb rab and proxmox and SSSSOOOOOO SSSLLLOOOOWWWWW

Thats a really cool machine

I want it

this is so cool wtf the layers of cards remind me about the amd lap tour gamers nexus did :D how much of the project was hardware and how much software proportion wise?
