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.

    That’s an E5 v2 xeon iirc?

    I picked up a T5810 recently for a similar price and slapped 80GB RAM and a 14c v4 CPU in there for another £60 or so.

    Much better than my old dual Xeon X5670 box.
