I wanted to buy a server/whole rack mount setup for a homelab, realized that my desktop was on its last legs and absolutely terrible. So I bought a daily driver solid desktop that I could run VMs and whatever I wanted on, later on I’ll build a solid homelab. I definitely bought it for the memory, everything else was just a bonus. I figure that it will work out really well, when I buy my server setup I’ll be able to split the memory between the two if the server is a little short, and have plenty left over for my day to day stuff. Snagged it up off Facebook marketplace, guy was using it for a VM host, got promoted and I guess decided he didn’t wanna learn at home anymore. The desktop it replaced was an AMD fx 8 core (maybe 4 core?) with 16gb of ddr3 and a Radeon r7 250 card. It was honestly a real dog, especially when running my 42” 4k TV I use as a monitor. Don’t really know what to do with it now though, thinking of just keeping it to wire it into the future homelab as a physical machine to attack, as I’m not going to be able to get anything for it now.</blockquote>
