I'm in Europe, so they're coming in at €120 for me, not exactly cheap as chips still...

You know I'm on the fence about the Evo now after reading this: https://wiki.futo.org/index.php/Introduction_to_a_Self_Managed_Life:_a_13_hour_%26_28_minute_presentation_by_FUTO_software

He's had a bad time with them and recommended these: https://amzn.eu/d/aw2ZySq

Thanks for the heads up on the Cheap SSD, I'll check it out, I'm planning to back up my host, so if it dies shouldn't be too painful.

Thanks man! I'm excited to get it all set up!

ISP speed is currently less than 1Gb, definitely something I can upgrade down the line though.

Yeah I might leave the pi-hole as is, really was just thinking to move it for backup convenience, but it's probably more of a headache (for the reason you mentioned) than it's worth.

It's been running on a first edition raspberry pi for years without a hiccup.

Yes the mirrored drives will be SATA, what do you mean by back off on the cost though?

I read somewhere on a reddit post that someone added an extra fan, I think it might have been a G4, but I think the same mod would be applicable for a G6, I'll definitely keep it in mind, thanks.

Frigate is currently running on a raspberry pi 4 with a USB coral tpu, it runs great, I only have 2 cameras currently though...

If the raspberry pi can handle it, I've no doubt this server will be more than capable.

Hi guys,

Just picked myself up an EliteDesk 800 G6 SFF:

Current specs:

CPU: i5-10500
RAM: 8 GB
NVMe SSD: 256 GB

My plan is to beef this up with:

RAM: Crucial Pro DDR4 RAM 64GB Kit (2x32GB) 3200MHz
HDD: 4TB ironwolf NAS drives * 2
NVME SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1 TB PCIe NVMe M.2

How I'm planning my setup:

The existing 256 GB NVMe will host Proxmox.

The new 1 TB NVMe will be for VM's & LXC's

The 4TB ironwolf NAS drives will be configured in a mirror and will be used as a NAS (Best way to do this?) as well as for bulk data from my services, like recordings from Frigate.

Services:

Home Assistant (Currently running on a pi4)
Frigate (Currently running on a pi4)
Pi hole (Maybe, already running on an OG pi)
Next cloud (Calendar, photos)
TailsScale
Vaultwarden
Windows 11

My follow on projects will be:

Setup PBS to back up my Host(proxmox-backup-client), VMS & LXC's

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 that I was thinking to use for PBS in the short term, but will eventually move it to something like an n100 mini PC.

I will also setup a second NAS(TrueNAS most likely, bare metal) to back up the 4TB ironwolf NAS.

This is my first proper homeLab, having mostly tinkered with Raspberry Pi's and Arduino's up to this point, any advice on my setup would be really appreciated.

Don't bother, much better / safer drugs to try if you're that way inclined.

I forgot to ask them 🤷‍♂️😂

I never played blood omen, I've heard it was good, but it was a different format right? Maybe they felt there would be more demand for Soul Reaver, hopefully they have new games in the pipeline 🤞

Yeah, soul reaver 1 & 2 just got a remaster release.
