  I’ve considered it, but decent NUCs are much pricier than old discarded hardware.

  I have a good source thru my job for tons of CTO hardware, these R230’s cost me about 50 bucks a pop, and considering they sip power they’re a really hard to pass deal, it sounds like a really good way to learn proxmox HA, load balancing and ceph minus the storage capacity

  I guess I could still host a 10G nas on an r230 with a DAS, but my questions remain.

    This can be true for some, but for a lot of labbers the increased energy cost of enterprise hardware will exceed the cost difference of the NUC over the expected life of the equipment. That doesn’t mean it’s an obvious choice to go the other way; it’s just something you should consider.

      Good point. I actually have a watt meter coming in the mail tomorrow. Will measure the idle consumption of the r430 and report back. This thing sits mostly at under 10% except when running backups or the machine learning algos for nextcloud image recognition.

        Your UPS doesn’t show power consumption?

        It should have power monitoring in the idrac already.

    Cool, more power to you.

    In the short term a decent nuc is not expensive, in the long run… maybe not.
