192GB RAM?? God I'm jealous. I'd love to start upgrading a bit. I found a local deal where someone is fireselling some stuff and I'm going to get a nice managed network switch out of it that'll be more than I ever need. Looking at possibly picking up an older server to run as a NAS. I'd also like to upgrade into something that could handle more VM's as myself and friend like testing/breaking stuff and use some of them for other things. Started out with a thinkcentre M720Q and fell in love with self hosting

trust me bud if youre in india. ppl dont know the value of the severs they sell em like dirty cheap and im on my way to pickup this 

Xeon E3-1220L v2
16GB ECC RAM
4 drive bays

for 83$ . i would suggest you to go with any hp product its meant for reliability fr. been doing this for almost 3 years now. never ever i felt desperate to pay for any vps or smth. coz my isp giving me the best bandwidth along with static ip for like 133$ a year + 30$ for static ip per year.  [Image: smart.gif]

where do you even find these sellers lmao shipping costs $40 cheapest here in EU from india
Same here in the US, its wild. Sometimes you can find good deals if you're patient on local marketplace listings though
