What did you all waste money on for your homelabs this holiday discount season? I snagged a rosewill 4u case for $80 on Newegg. Currently my NAS is a guest in a ryzen based proxmox host in a silverstone case with a ton of 3.5 bays. Gonna move an older supermicro server mobo into that silverstone case and make it a dedicated bare metal NAS that I’ll probably only run a few hours a month, and then build a “new” game/vm server with the ryzen parts in the rosewill case. That way I can run my more demanding stuff without also having to power a bunch of spinning rust all the time. Yes the ~70 watts for 24/7 HDD’s nags at me that much; don’t try to tell me how long it will take me to make my $80 back 😂

What projects did y’all find for yourselves?

Posted a lot of deals on r/hwdeals

Bought the Ryzen 5600U MomentPlus but it hasn't arrived yet unfortunately :(

Bought 18 TB Storage from Best Buy, which was great but I'm not even utilizing 2% of the storage at the moment.
