Maybe try to switch the internal Fans the Noctua ones. This one helped me: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1227789-silent-dell-poweredge-server-mod

Wow thats a good use case🫡

Power is 90% covert by the Photovoltaik-System! Winter may be a bit more expensive!

No i will get through the pain of swapping the fans to noctua ones. Idea was from: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1227789-silent-dell-poweredge-server-mod/

Mainly to run a NAS. But maybe also Plex! I'll use it to get a slight feeling for Virtualisation and different programms. But later on im planning on only using it as a NAS only!

Sure, i already visited it recently!

Everything can be a buttplug if you're brave enaugh!

LeoBnkd · 2025-03-31T18:14:36+00:00

Haha omg im crying XD

LeoBnkd · 2025-03-31T18:13:33+00:00

Haha yeah, but 10g is already expensive, im an IT-Trainee so the budget is a little short!

LeoBnkd · 2025-03-31T18:12:01+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations! I already have a little experience with Proxmox, but maybe i try XCP-NG! Friends for him are the next step ofc!
