the white box depicted is my home server, built from used parts except the 3x4TB WD Red HDDs inside. Very proud to see what this little mATX box can do, with only 16gigs of ram!
running truenas scale and a lot of k3s pods, it works like a charm 🫡
Meanwhile me while renting: Purchases concrete drill bits to mount stuff up 🤣
I agree though, vertical space is really underutilised. Most folks go for massive square footage when it probably isn't needed, despite lots of free real estate on their wall!
