Nothing special just wanted to share, I’ve been working on it piece by piece for over a year now it started with a few intel nucs now it’s got five dell optiplex micros a raspberry pi and a qnap nas ts251 and a ts251+. I’ve been using it to host virtual machines and to run game servers .

I'm buying Optiplex 7040s and its been a lot cheaper to buy the low RAM options with and then upgrade it to my chosen configuration (I have them all with identical spec). Been picking them up for around £65 and then paying £40 for 32GiB of RAM so it can definitely be cheap. Considering their power usage and how quiet they are they are pretty good for homelab use. L
