First college apartment Homelab!
Found this subreddit a few months ago and decided I would try and make my own! I had bigger plans initially but had to downscale due to the realities of having a Homelab in the same room as my bed (and everything else I own) in an apartment.
Nearly every part was found on Facebook marketplace, including an old optiplex for my opnsense box, an HP ProCurve 2520G switch, and the rack mounted case for my old gaming PC that I upgraded to an i7-7700, 64gb ram, and 2 6TB hard drives.
Currently have proxmox running on the server functioning as a NAS and a game hosting server. Any suggestions about technologies to try and learn is appreciated!
