Good evening everyone, I was hoping someone here could possibly tell me if a Supermicro CSE-847BE1C-R1K28LPB would be compatible with a PWS-1K11P-1R -48vdc PSU? I've contacted Supermicro directly and have basically gotten the basic "It's the PWS-1k11P-1R is a direct swap for the PWS-1K28P-SQ...

So, I'm planning to renew a bit my current server to try to save some electricity and improve performance a bit (single thread performance is suffering). I've been mulling over this for quite a while, but a post on reddit about downsizing/reducing electricity gave me a bit of a push so I wanted...

So i recently i've gotten into learning networking and cloud, and would like to have my own private server/cloud instead of paying google/amazon and all the rest of cloud based softwares. I've looked into synology and qnap for nas, but for the price of them I realized i could just build my own...

Hello my fellow STH enthusiasts! I've been spending weeks trying to research a replacement build for my current 1st Gen EPYC(7551p/256GB RAM) as I have outgrown this. I was wondering if anyone had below spec'ed parts for grabs. Perfect opportunity(excuse) for you to upgrade to Milan or Genoa...

Hi I can get used machines from my workplace. My goal is to use one of those for a homelab ESXi server. My price for both is identical. The specs are similar but not exactly and now I'm seeking advice/experience to make the best choice. The specs I have for the actual contenders are...

I'm starting from scratch and seeing what I can build in my basement. Hopefully a full cabinet someday. Both Local transactions and shipping would work. Shoot me a message with what you have and price(s). Doesn't have to be high-end but obviously I'd pay more for that. I've wanted for years to...

So I recently acquired a new server for my lab, now I'm debating on storage options. I'm looking for around 2TB, also nothing mission critical is planned on this machine, hence a single SSD would be enough for now. Since price difference between SATA and NVME is negligible and SAS (12G) is...
