I use Very Poor Configuration Desktop PC.
@black
Probably more powerful than my PE2850
well im guessing it comes in case.. Kimsufis don't even have that and still works quite well..
Also got a pogo plug. can't say I'm fond of the color! was gonna turn it to a server but never got around to it..
I have an old HP DL380G5, but currently it's at school for a project.
I also have a Raspberry Pi 2 and a Pogoplug (the $20 one)
I only have a desktop and a laptop at home -.-
@cassa
The DL380 G5 are still pretty nice I think, I like how you can put 8 drives in it..
But I bet it's loud!!
I'm waiting for these to go off lease.. but probably won't be a while till they're affordable.
Yep, they're still pretty nice. Bought it for 30 euro :P
It is indeed pretty loud, that's why I'm not running it at home anymore.
Is internet in NL cheap?
I think I read somewhere that in NL people have data centers in their garages and offer hosting.. I can't remember where I read that.
100/100 Unmetered for €42,50 a month
@cassa
I got mine pretty cheap too, but after upgrading everything it's not so cheap anymore.. should have just bought a better server to begin with.
@joodle
Wow! that's pretty good.. I get like 250 down but I don't think they offer residential internet with 100 up.
be fun to just host stuff from home.
I have a Dell Inspiron 3542, DSL 8/1 Mbps, a desktop with C2D E8400 CPU, both works fine for my daily tasks.
Yup, I'm still using an E8400 on a Dell Optiplex..
I actually have a few Optiplex 755 even installs esxi just fine, compared to say a home build where you might get problems with the Ethernet drivers..
@black - The antistatic bag is conductive, so it's not the best idea to run your rpi on it!
In vienna you get 100 mbit synchron for 40€ so even cheaper as in NL.
I also got some servers at home but I'm to lazy to take pictures
appreciate the effort anyways.. i know how it feels.
i actually have a few more servers.. but they in the garage collecting dust.
I have this sudden urge that I need this. Not sure why or what for but those four PSU's can sure take up all the plugs in the room. - Picture.
I do have a Dell Poweredge 1950 III at home however it's off due to the fact it makes so much noise when I don't use it enough to make it worthwhile.

yeah those vrtx looks like fun.. think they are quite enough to actually use at home. my proliant and poweredge are too loud i end up using my optiplex and thinkcentre instead. works quite well for what i need.
On the first one, next to ISPs DOCSIS 3.0 modem (bridged to OpenWRT router that's not in the picture) and an unmanaged gigabit switch is a Seagate Dockstar running Archlinux ARM.
Second picture shows an HP MicroServer that is now colocated.
And here's the other servers
@BotoX
Very nice, thank you.. I also have an HP server, think its the mediasmart but i never use it.. Has windows home server in it, cant say i like it too much.
I run Archlinux on mine with ZFS on Linux (4*2TB HDDs) and a 3TB drive in the CD-ROM bay.
It does it's job as a fileserver and torrent machine, the CPU is indeed crap but it runs fine with linux, a lot of RAM helps when you use it as a fileserver.
This thing has been seeding over 16k torrents with transmission for a year, no problems at all, maxing my 100MBit uplink most of the time.
I do like the micro servers, but they're too expensive. If I can find one for a good deal I would probably install xpenology on it.
my mediasmart comes with WHS, which i don't really care for.. it also does not have a vga port unless you buy an adapter on ebay.. so not really worth while.
These were smuggled by @BotoX to my country.
And here is the final setup.
I have my main and my backup servers at home in these nice Chieftec BA-02B cases:
have a closet of sorts, so space was not a problem.
Main is FX-8350 with 32GB of RAM and 9x2TB HDDs, backup is E-350 with 16GB and 4x2TB + 1x1.5TB.
@Kupol
You guys really like your microservers
looks like a nice setup not too busy.
Holy cow!! what you doing with 9x2TB!!
I do like the case since the HD slots is facing the side.. more convenient than facing the back.
Thx for free WIFI
Well I got also 19TB for my plex server backed up with Stablebit Drivepool.
The half of the space is "lost" on 2 way replication. I do also some 5 way replication for very important data
Is it mainly movies? all I have is family pics and all together probably only 20 gb even my movie collection probably not more than 1TB.. 9TB is a lot of media
I wish these cases were cheap.. I'd stuff em with ssd's in RAID 0..
I have one, I paid 900 euro
