This machine basically does everything right now:
Backup storage, Samba, Email storage (not SMTP), build server (Jenkins), Docker hosting, firewall/router, DNS, time server, network monitoring (nTop), syncthing, NextCloud,…
Hardware
Case: Supermicro SIS8T0 (nice and quiet, and rackmountable, which I plan to do at some point)
Motherboard: Supermicro X9SCA-F
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1270 v2 3.5Ghz (upgraded from the Intel G620T it came with)
RAM: 32GiB Unbuffered ECC PC133 (upgraded from 8GiB initially)
Disks:
OS: 1 ancient Seagate Barracuda 320GB (ST3320620AS) with over 6years of running time
RAID6 (mdadm + lvm):
3 WD Green 1TB (WDC WD10EARX-00N0YB0)
2 WD RE4 WDC 1TB (WD1003FBYX-01Y7B1)
Operating System
Gentoo GNU/Linux, a rather old install that was migrated a few times to new hardware:
% head -n 1 /var/log/emerge.log

Experimenting with this box, if I can get it set up right and somewhat quieter I might put it in the basement and use it as a file server. One of the things that’s always bothered me about the current setup is the lack of protection against data corruption. When that array was set up the only option for that was basically ZFS, on Solaris, so now I’d like to migrate that
over.
Will probably also move some internal-only docker images to this machine, since docker likes to mess with the firewall
creating all sorts of issues if you’re not careful.
Hardware
Case: no idea, but it has 16 SATA2 hot-swap bays
Motherboard: Supermicro X7DBE
CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon E5335 2.0 Ghz
RAM: 32GiB Fully Buffered ECC DDR2 (HP ProLiant DL380 G5)
RAID Controller: 3Ware 9650SE-16ML (replaced with 2 Dell PERC 310s)
Disks:
- WD Caviar Blue 1TB (WD10EALX) (this one is broken, so just using it to test handling broken hardware)
- 3x Samsung HD103SJ 1TB
Operating System
FreeNAS right now, but since I messed with the psu and case fans I’d like some proper sensor readouts. OpenMediaVault looks promising, so might switch to that.

Professional way to install a server (temporary workaround while I waited for SSD and cabling to arrive)
Took a massive amount of abuse during transport, 2 of the PSUs have the fan enclosure bent, making them slightly harder to slide back in… (they function fine tho, fans also just work)
Bonus: invidia (ancient picture), not a server but it’s a Sun UltraSPARC machine, so it still qualifies I’d say :
