This project would never end and I will never get to share it! So here we go ๐ I got three switches. Two from ubiquiti(aggregate & 500w POE 48port) and one 100g mikrotik switch. Running most of my servers on 25G and primary nas/server on 100G. I even ran a fiber to my desktop for that sweet 25G laser bits. I got 4 servers. All running V4 Xeon with different levels of horse power. Two dedicated Pfsense boxes on redundant configuration. I use Proxmox as my hypervisor, then I run truenas, k3s on top of it. All of this consumes about 700w. I know it's alot and main server consumes half of it. POE switch takes 100w. Other three servers and the pfsense only consumes 300w. My next project going to getting rid of the monster but I need ton of PCI and 12bays for drive ๐ธ. Maybe I'll invest on solar instead ๐ . Feel free to ask any questions.
Nice setup! I have that same gigabyte server. Mine has a datto d1541 board that I flashed back to asrock firmware. The server as a whole, I like. It's low power consumption but damn those fans scream.
Yep, those datto are nice and cheap. I did the same, flashed asrock firmware, and I unplugged some fans in them. Never got too hot and very efficient!
