For reasons unexplained, you have no homelab hardware, but $1,000 in cash earmarked for the purpose.

What are you buying, what are you installing on it, and how is it different from what you've done previously (i.e. lessons learned)?

  • Supermicro H11SSL-N6 with an Epyc 7551P with 128G memory - €600
  • PSU - €60ish
  • Pile of refurb 4TiB disks - €100
  • Mikrotik hAP ax² - €80
  • HP Procurve 2848 - €40
  • Misc gubbins - €180

There's a server, networking gear, and storage. I can sort the rest out later.

Where do you got these drives/disks from?

bargainhardware.co.uk is my usual source; even though I now pay import taxes, it's still often the cheapest option. (±€30/disk on my last order)
