My Rx580 has basically been on continuously since I bought it in like 2017/18. I used it to mine when I wasn’t gaming until it became unprofitable, then to process sequencing data for my dissertation project while not gaming, and now it’s in my server.

This was almost my gaming PC specs in 2020. Rx580 and 16gb more ram. It’s now my server running jellyfin and immich for my family.

Also Nintendo, put that Wii U in the trash along with your ds and never mention them again, btw here’s a port from those systems for $60+.

If you live near a college campus, check out their recycling center or campus surplus. Lots of IT departments just toss UPS when they upgrade equipment regardless of battery status. I like to grab APC ones because the battery replacements are easy to find and there’s usually a YouTube video for the exact model with someone refurbing it.

I’ve been buying used 12tb HGST from Amazon for $80.

Lol yeh but it’s partially funded by money saved from canceled subscriptions.

I’m a noob, I started 2 months ago with immich and tailscale. Now I have an unraid server, it’s a slippery slope.
