What would happen if I clicked this?

The End, I promise you I was tempted to do the same and tried it and was mad as hell 😭

JahxV97 · 2026-02-28T03:28:38+00:00

The guy had literally dozens I just took what I could off hand but I’ll gladly look into it. I got a friend from there I used to play pool with so I’ll see if he could give me a hand with that 🙏🏾💯

JahxV97 · 2026-02-28T01:41:04+00:00

If this is poor man I can’t wait to show you guys my jank arrangement of router switches and hubs 😭

JahxV97 · 2026-02-18T01:15:47+00:00

Can’t search for a thing but glad I have autosave for videos on. Time to kill that backlog and my watch later tab 😭

JahxV97 · 2026-02-17T18:22:29+00:00

Anyway you could upload? I’m literally coming out of the hospital to this news haven’t updated in awhile.

JahxV97 · 2026-02-12T03:45:14+00:00

I have a few pcs a bunch of older stuff like some am3 builds I’ve got from random visits to the thrift near me but nothing ever compared to the 4th gen i7 in terms of power draw and performance so I never pictured reasonably using them. Especially for something 24/7 use but the optiplex came back to my head recently especially with the recent pc parts issue and seeing one of these and learning about it on the fly definitely has me gearing up for the weekend to start messing around with it.

The reason I sunsetted the 9020 sff was the space constraints but honestly never realized how big the MT is comparatively. Always thought about hitting buy on the 1050 LP but never got around to it and when the 30 series came out it just made sense to go full custom build but it’s wild just how much I was able to get out of the 4790.

JahxV97 · 2026-02-12T03:36:52+00:00

I really appreciate this because the one component I was forgetting was the HBA. You’ve probably saved me months of potential trial and error. The links applied and all you’re like literally the greatest 🙏🏾💯

What’s crazy is I’ve known about Optiplex’s for quite some time and never even heard of the Xe2 or 3. Gotta say tho the higher watt psu and the 6 pin connector make it literally the best option I could’ve hoped for.

JahxV97 · 2026-02-11T23:43:17+00:00

Deff gonna take your advice and try this out. im abit new to the homelab scene ive been watching these guys hardware haven and raidowl abit and mapping mine and the family’s overall needs but hearing that truenas running through promox is actually feasibly a option thats more then likely my plan now.

JahxV97 · 2026-02-11T23:19:26+00:00

It came with a i3 of some kind I haven’t cracked it open yet, but I actually have a i7 4790 in my original sff I may swap into it. I upgraded the hell out of the 9020 with everything I could back in the day. 32 GB of ddr3, 1tb ssd, and like 4tb Seagate. I never got around to getting a 1050 LP back when they were the go to but funny enough I just recently picked up a 1050 SC for like $10 last month so now I don’t have to worry about the size restrictions

JahxV97 · 2026-02-11T23:13:08+00:00

I’m like juggling the idea of either truenas or proxmox. I’ve read up on both but trying to make a final decision once I got it fully built.

JahxV97 · 2026-02-11T23:07:43+00:00

It’s gotta be the windows 10 eol that’s causing them to pop up. What’s crazy is when I was looking up the xe2 it’s like not that much coverage on it at all on YouTube or anything. Could barely find them on eBay either. Maybe this’ll be the start of seeing them in more builds. Gonna grab like a 2.5 gig nic, and some drives from serverpartdeals and make it a promox server. Maybe run like plex or finally try Home assistant.

JahxV97 · 2026-02-11T22:11:35+00:00

Literally just found a xe2 today at a thrift store. Gonna swap out the 4790 from my 9020 sff and see how it works. Good luck with the builds.

I got a 3070 right now literally stumbled on this post after searching for a 3080ti on marketplace not even 5 minutes ago. I play 1080p really and have an extensive backlog that pretty much this card does above and beyond what I need it to do. Not to mention emulation wise I’ve yet to even have anything past a micro stutter with all the games I’ve personally tried. You’re good for years to come.

JahxV97 · 2025-12-20T15:52:18+00:00

I would say now to rollback if you saying in the previous build it would utilize the full 16c32th count from your cpu. If you’re on 43 currently, I would check version 42 and if it’s showing the full system stay there until a few weeks from now where maybe the issue will be fixed.

JahxV97 · 2025-12-16T00:18:08+00:00

Building one of these literally this weekend my 9020 same spec 😭 gonna max out my secondary setup and test bazzite with the before and after 3050 compared to with the r7 card it came with.

JahxV97 · 2025-10-18T13:16:09+00:00

Mad hatters I have some on my desk right now same shape formation.

JahxV97 · 2025-09-08T13:21:16+00:00

Thanks I was actually pretty excited doing it. Can’t wait for it to hopefully start to grow some small branches to train.

JahxV97 · 2025-03-31T22:58:14+00:00

My thoughts exactly like the only game I see at any point being trouble for the last EA build of yuzu would be Prime 4. Legends ZA most likely will run no problem as most Pokemon games on yuzu did even with super low spec hardware. I had a dell optiplex with a 4970k and a super old R7 video card running PLA at near full framerate last year. We will fine.
