What did you all waste money on for your homelabs this holiday discount season? I snagged a rosewill 4u case for $80 on Newegg. Currently my NAS is a guest in a ryzen based proxmox host in a silverstone case with a ton of 3.5 bays. Gonna move an older supermicro server mobo into that silverstone case and make it a dedicated bare metal NAS that I’ll probably only run a few hours a month, and then build a “new” game/vm server with the ryzen parts in the rosewill case. That way I can run my more demanding stuff without also having to power a bunch of spinning rust all the time. Yes the ~70 watts for 24/7 HDD’s nags at me that much; don’t try to tell me how long it will take me to make my $80 back 😂

What projects did y’all find for yourselves?

    Really shitty deals around me this black friday, did get 60cm pcie x4 extenders for cheap and a pdu, but most for me is used hardware and that is cheap any day of the year
