Then go to Amazon and buy a good one.
I don't think you want an old one inside your house, noisy. But there's also an advantage: If you have one server at home, you don't need a heater in the winter anymore. It gonna be really really hot, be careful about heatstroke.

I'm thinking of a more low-power server, something less than 100W. We'll see though!
People are resources hungry here
Sheesh I still have a Ryzen 1600 desktop pc build back in 2018 as a server in my living room. I think it used about 65W ish.
We all have won lots of servers. Lol, now we want more resources.
Thank You sir! Glad you had a good day nonetheless. On my side, the family and I had a great time. Tons of food -- turkey with mashed potatoes, stuffing, mac and cheese, corn bread, and pumpkin pie. ๐ The kids had a great experience too, which is the best part about it all.
I'll have to look and see exactly what we have globally across all locations nowadays but its definitely much more than that if you're looking at all locations. We have dedicated physical servers for shared hosting infrastructure too, in addition to our bare metal offerings, so its not just VPS nodes that we deploy physical servers for within the DC's.
I think if I were to build a home server, I'd probably go with an older Xeon CPU to save a bit. Or I could always just use my raspberry pi, run it 24/7, attach a few external drives and call it a day ๐
I did it again between Thursday noon and six am Saturday. Way too many things going on right now.
The more the better!
we are rdy!!
CHEF, WE ARE STARVING!
Like your username suggests. Lol.
We are READY

I'm happy that you had a good turkey day. It is great that you take the time to have those experiences with the kids. I have always felt they are some of the best memories when you get old. Time spent with family is never wasted.
So more then 463 servers, that is great. You guys have really grown fast over the last couple of years. It says a lot that you have been able to keep up the level of customer service that you have while growing at that speed, Kudos.
P.S. I really like pumpkin pie, but it is so hard to get here.
Oh hey, I didn't even realize that! 8 comments left to go until page 850!!

You guys run so fast that I was thrown away far behind you.
I have an old Dell R310 that I bought for $1. Had to add memory, drives and an upgraded controller. It works well for what I need it to do. Put on ESXi and it does a good job.
Old servers can be bought for little cash, get some used SAS drives and you're in business.
Right now I have RAID 5 4x2, so 6TB. I want to get at least some 6TB drives for it. 18TB would be sufficient for my needs
May I ask where did you get it for 1?
Auction (not eBay). I believe it was actually part of a multi-item lot. Cost me a whole lot more for the memory and drives. If you watch some online auctions you can snag some really good deals.
HOPE WE GET THERE SOON ๐
You have to be careful with auctions, of course. Set out a limit, don't go above it. Don't get caught up in a bidding war. I've seen things go for much more than they could have gotten it for on Amazon.
Which platform if not ebay? I found auction.com but it's a website selling houses.
