One of my server nodes is a sort of "leftover consumer parts in a 4U chassis" sort of deal. It's never been especially good but got 24 HDDs online in a pinch to utilize random drives lying around as a #JBOD. This week it started misbehaving more than usual due to a bad software bug that consumed its meager 16G of RAM like it was nothing, so it's been drained ever since. Ordered a #BLIKVM to be able to rescue it while traveling since it also likes to hard lock. Today was the day to install it but turns out I'm out of PCI-E slots, now suddenly needing a fifth. Long story short, I lost my last shreds of five a duck about rescuing it and now there's a bunch of eBay orders incoming including a supermicro E-ATX mobo, a couple of Xeon Silvers and 128G of RAM plus the bits and bobs to hook it all up.
