CP.
Lots of CP and onion nodes.
Sell them for crypto currencies.
Josiah White
Throw on proxmox, run a dozen plex server instances.
Chase Young
I have a poweredge t40 I am interested too

Mining monero on my 2x X5650 R710, doesn't even get that noticeably loud because my apartment's cold as fuck and I already have the heater/fan going. (Before you ask, electricity is included in the rent)
Nathaniel Watson
Install gentoo. Then sell private game servers.
James Martin
how easy would it be to run some minecraft servers on it and sell them to 12 year olds?
Tyler Kelly
Not speaking from experience, and not the person you asked, but like REAL damn easy.
Ethan Ramirez
also, does anyone have experience with virtualization? What should I use to run virtual machines on it? I want to use linux, the virtual machines should be remotely accessible
Nathaniel Cooper
You probably don't need that much power.
I mean, I'm running my server in a vm on an old core2quad Xeon with 2GB of ram.
It's running web, mail, and ssh. And probably some other shit one day, there's plenty of room .
Although to be fair the web server is basically just nothing. It's accessible and you can go to it but there's only one thing there.
Julian Ortiz
really easy.
just make a plan for a year at the time and let the money flow.

i have 3 ceph ones with a combined storage of 728 tb
as a dedicated data hoarder currently 60% of the storage is dedicated to movies (whatever can be found in 4k and 1080p mainly and trying to transcode old western movies into 720p)
10tb are for music
2 tb of old anime and hentai
30tb of pictures saved mainly ripped Sup Forums various boards instagram 8ch/2ck bla bla and my personal collection that flickr managed to lose
the rest i dont even know what to do im starting to hoards various pdf's categorizing them as per interest magic/occult/sci fi/guides bla bla
Dominic Ward
depending on your internet connection, insanely easy. even better, get in on the private Arma 3 server market. Those people pay out the ass for servers that could run on a shitty old laptop.
Chase Richardson
So did you set up free subdomains for them linked to the VM ip with a subrange or something? I'm pretty new to networking
I want to practice virtualization, running multiple VM's on it

>buying a server
>doesn't even know what he's gonna do with it
Why do people just buy shit when they have no intended purpose with said shit?
Joseph Hughes
Well in his defense, once you start doing things with it is when you actually find out what you can do with it.
I enjoy having a mail server and a web server.
I like digital ocean's guides- their mail server one helped me get SSL encrypted IMAP mail running, and I got a letsencrypt SSL cert for it and my HTTP server too.
Adam Rogers
learned that the hardware when i got a dell power edge r910
Blake Martinez
Planning to buy one of this, it's a qnap ts-231
Are they any good?
Julian Perez
Why bother with 2 bay nas ?
At least spring for a 4bay or something
Anthony Cruz
reminder that you can buy really nice used SPARC stuff on ebay
Samuel Allen
Why though
Juan Harris
It's an open, RISC ISA that's made for UNIX
Jackson Powell
Play solitaire and Doom 2 on it simultaneously
Ryder Reed
Free: virtual box
Paid: VMware
Nolan Hughes
virtualbox runs just fine. Zero problems.
You can find some setup guides, even some for ubuntu 16.04 server
Cameron Cooper
Many people get free servers from work as well.
Grayson Watson
libvirtd, virtual box sucks dong and vmware is botnet
Liam Mitchell
does the listning include a power substation needed to run them doe?
Kevin Green

There are chinks selling custom LGA2011 boards with lots of ECC ram on ali, should I probably get one of those?

Excellent question.
