😱😳 this old beast has arrived! Supermicro CSE-836 waiting on the bi Xeon L5640 now. I plan to replace everything inside except the backplane if I keep it #homelab
@y0ug I've always liked Supermicro cases. My favorite was a bit of a unicorn, a 3U with 16x 3.5" drive bays that took full height PCIe cards.
@elforesto that this one I think 3U 16x 3.5" drives and full size PCIe card. 😁
@y0ug Ah, I see it now. The one I had was a little different. It was built around the E5-2600v1/v2 platform and had the drives mounted vertically, no room for an optical drive or front ports. I think I like yours better!
