Operating systems are for casuals. My user interface is Assembly.


I’ve found used SAS drives really cheap. Averaged around £6 per tb.


Well… Most of it has a case.


You know it. The second best way to make things attach to things after zip ties.


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.
