So I have in the house, I am in the same house as Sirius.

My gaming PC, top part of my signature, then I have a 2nd PC which does Discord, OBS, YouTube and is what I use for converting videos for YouTube.

Then there is the 2 Servers, only the Supermicro is in use all the time, the Dell currently is not in use.

I still have a 15 bay HDD Enclosure that can go in the rack but before I add anything else I really need to get a UPS or 2.

My intention is to move both my pc's in to Silverstone 5U Rack Mount cases, and have everything in a single rack, but I need a bigger rack for that.

Here is what the rack currently looks like, it's a mess but once I can get it all sorted it will look a lot better.



The Supermicro server once I have the money, I am swapping out the 2x Intel Xeon 2670 V2's for a single AMD Epyc cpu with anything from 128Gb Ram to 256Gb Ram but I then need to find a decent heatsink for the CPU.

Swapping from the Intel CPU's to the AMD CPU will drop the power usage down from about 500w to about 300w, will give me more cores and more Ram, with more PCI-E lanes as well.
