      Are those RAM sticks tiny? otherwise why so many?

      Because I can? 😄 The price of 72GB versus 48GB was negligible at the time of purchase so I went ahead and went with the larger amount and had them populate all the slots.

      negligible? as in $20? or $200?

      Less than $30 at the time I purchased it., the seller on ebay actually put the components I wanted together in a bundle for me and agreed on the price.

          I'll post my pics when I get some might be a little while, not to much to look at most of it is virtual and I recently had to get rid of my hardware test bench... but planning on building a new one soonish... currently all my machines reside in 3 physical machines, one ATX full tower that I built for me to game on and play with, one ATX full tower gaming desktop that I built for my dad, but pitched in on a better processor and more ram so I could run virtual machines in the background with out him noticing, and my Lenovo Y50 with 12gb of ram running my main linux install, and when I need it to a virtual machine or two, gonna get some second hand servers here soon, not sure what I'm gonna do with em yet but I'll think of something.

            My "Home Lab" right now is a Vultr account. Really is cheaper than paying for the power, and I don't want to listen to something else when it gets hot in my tiny efficiency apartment. My desktop at home was custom built with an eye to keeping it quiet, even during the summer. (Lots of large fans and a temperature based fan controller.)

                              And so Begins the new lab setup. Picked this rack up but it's too shallow for my Dell rails. I'm either going to keep the posts as they are and lengthen the depth, or just use the posts and create some sort of hybrid metal/ wood rack. Any excuse to break out the welder and power tools.

                                  Well, most of it is equipment so old I wouldn't put in a production environment anymore. Still, great home/play setup.

                                          My wife let me build special spaces for that in the basement or near the kitchen.

                                            We completely accept each others projects. If she wanted to make our bedroom hello kitty themed (which she never would) I'd be totally accepting. Our relationship is about sharing our lives together not getting what we want out of the other 😄
