I am going to be moving into a college dorm in the fall and would ideally like to condense/improve my current setup while not being murdered by my roommates.
Current setup:
- Random Asus Desktop
- i5-9400 - 12 GB RAM
- Running proxmox but is exclusively running truenas because low ram
- LSI 9811-8i with 8 4TB sas drives
-
Thinkpad T470
- i5-7300U - 16GB RAM
- Runs all my other containers (bluebubbles, game servers, etc)
-
RPi
- Runs klipper and keeps quorum for proxmox cluster
I was thinking about shopping for some 2U blade server that has as least 8 LFF slots and swapping the fans for noctuas. I would consider getting a tower with more cores/ram but I'd like to have my drives built into the unit instead of off to the side like I have them now. I would also eventually like to run a direct 10G line from my PC to my NAS. I have a budget of about $800. Any thoughts?
