Looking for a server to host file storage and other services.

Quick eBay and b00m. A Dell T130 with 12TB SAS and 16GB RAM for £50. I'll be honest I thought it was a scam.

4 x 1TB SAS 4 x 2TB SAS

I have no one else to tell about my excitement. This is now setup with a 2 x gigabit connections to my hom network.

Just eBayed another 12TB in SAS drives and could easily get them for £80.

I used to think highly specced cheap hardware deals were the best thing on earth until I got used to the electricity bills. Cheaper in the long run these days to build something modern that can chew less idle minimum power.

yeah I know its like wow vintage quality

(personally having roaring servers would activate my ptsd from pulling floor tiles in a dark data center that is 15c at 3am)

but yeah the noise and power when you can get a tiny modern nas for not much money that sips power and is near silent and has more space and is probably faster than sas now as well (nvme slots). yeah I kinda get it? but not really.
