A small home server setup built from older PCs
This small setup has been running for about two years and now badly needs more storage and cleanup. A Dell Precision T5810 is still used as the main desktop computer, with what appears to be a 12-core Xeon processor, 32GB of memory, several SSDs, and a GTX 970 . A custom PC built around 2013 used to be the main desktop, but now works as a NAS and server.
It runs Plex on Windows 11 with an i7-3770, 16GB of memory, two 2TB Seagate drives for the Plex library, two 1TB WD laptop drives in RAID 1 for more important files like photos, and a 750GB laptop drive used as a scratch disk. Across all drives except the boot SSD, only about 30GB of free space remains. A Sangoma PBX machine runs , probably with a quad-core Atom chip, 4GB of memory, and a 128GB SATA SSD.
A 7010 runs Debian and mostly handles AMP game server duties.
Key points
- The setup has been running for about two years and now needs a major cleanup.
- An older custom PC is doing NAS and work on Windows 11.
- Photos are stored on two 1TB drives in RAID 1, but the storage plan still needs improvement.
- Only about 30GB of free space remains across the non-s.
- , Debian, and AMP game server roles are split across separate machines.
