        I don't have any current pictures with it in operation. Whenever I have my buddy do his build I'll take some updated pictures. I also don't have a rack yet, it's just sitting on top of some totes in the corner of my basement. 😄

          Are those RAM sticks tiny? otherwise why so many?

            Do you not want to max out your RAM whenever possible???

              Because I can? 😄 The price of 72GB versus 48GB was negligible at the time of purchase so I went ahead and went with the larger amount and had them populate all the slots.

                negligible? as in $20? or $200?

                  Probably closer to $20. My last server build we got 64GB instead of 32GB for like $35 premium. Well worth it.

                        Rack in my living room. I used to have a really cool hand painted piece of wood behind but I gave it to a friend who liked it 😄

                          My home lab right now is a whitebox AMD FX3800 (quad core), 12GB RAM, 3TB storage running Win 8.1 and Hyper-V, and a hosted server with 16GB RAM, 2TB storage running KVM. Both networks connected via ZeroTier.

                            Less than $30 at the time I purchased it., the seller on ebay actually put the components I wanted together in a bundle for me and agreed on the price.

                                I'll post my pics when I get some might be a little while, not to much to look at most of it is virtual and I recently had to get rid of my hardware test bench... but planning on building a new one soonish... currently all my machines reside in 3 physical machines, one ATX full tower that I built for me to game on and play with, one ATX full tower gaming desktop that I built for my dad, but pitched in on a better processor and more ram so I could run virtual machines in the background with out him noticing, and my Lenovo Y50 with 12gb of ram running my main linux install, and when I need it to a virtual machine or two, gonna get some second hand servers here soon, not sure what I'm gonna do with em yet but I'll think of something.

                                  My "Home Lab" right now is a Vultr account. Really is cheaper than paying for the power, and I don't want to listen to something else when it gets hot in my tiny efficiency apartment. My desktop at home was custom built with an eye to keeping it quiet, even during the summer. (Lots of large fans and a temperature based fan controller.)
