Finally getting around to posting my SNAFUNAS build

Finished this build a couple of months ago, but I only just recently got around to building the rack for it. It’s super janky for now, hopefully I can clean it up with some more rack mount network gear.

CPUs: SR0KX INTEL XEON E5-2670

RAM: X2 HP Compatible 16GB PC3-8500 DDR3-1066 4Rx4 1.5v ECC Registered RDIMM (HP PN# 500207-071)

plus the various extra fans and cables that were involved and the 6 4 Tb storage drives from my previous builds.

Solid looking build. What’s your main usage?

But your cpu cooler link is your RAM

The usual, Unraid file server with Emby, a few other dockers, and a couple of VMs I’m definitely overbuilt for my use case, but I’d rather spend a couple extra bucks now then wish I had more horse power later.
