Back in May of last year, I started building a new server and had planned to fully share the process of putting it together, setting up the OS, templates, etc. Instead, we had a baby, remodeled and sold our home, moved over 1500 miles, and had job constraints that forced me to rush putting it together :( New home server :D Dell R630 with 2x 14 core E5-2680 v4 CPUs Already ordered 1.2TB SAS drives (best bang for buck currently at $20 each). Working on 32GB sticks as I can find them around $60. Goal is 8x 1.2TB drives, 2x 1TB NVMe via PCI-Express adapters, and 16x 32GB sticks :p pic.twitter.com/2p3jEdKOZG
