Bought a new house and i'm getting it wired up. In my previous place we had an attached garage so I ran all the wires there and that was just fine for all my equipment. In our new place I'd *like* to put it in our utility closet or, failing that, in an under-the-stairs closet or maybe in my...
My latest DIY is now several years old. Picked up a nice case off here with a few LSIs and was pretty happy while it was in my garage. I made one mistake and got a non-quicksync xeon-e3. It's been a good machine... did a bunch of docker experimentation (after a brief excursion with esxi). I'm...

After thinking about this for a few months, I'm still a bit torn about which of the above platforms I should base my new build on (replacing a Proliant I've outgrown speed and sizewise).
