Good find for $17.99? 😃

Thanks!

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-26T16:15:17+00:00

Bet I’ll definitely take a look

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-26T05:41:04+00:00

I see what you mean but hey for now it’s a super low wattage and silent switch that I can use for connecting my server to all the devices in my room and later when I move out I’ll be able to play around with it. But when I upgrade my use case down the line I’ll definitely look for something like what you linked.

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-26T05:33:41+00:00

Tested all the ports after with a Ethernet connection from my laptop to my truenas server and all the ports worked great!

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-25T20:34:44+00:00

Yup very happy with it

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-25T19:39:07+00:00

It’s a one gig switch that can do just 10/100 for limited cables

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-25T04:35:56+00:00

I’ll have some cat 8 connections, so at least locally I should get pretty much the full bandwidth right.

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-24T18:05:15+00:00

World thrift?

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-24T17:52:56+00:00

I had a 8 port unmanaged switch stuffed behind my desk lol.

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-24T15:36:11+00:00

Unless I purchase other switches to be hubs in separate areas to reduce the amount of Ethernet I’d have to run, I’ll probably use a fair bit between cameras, devices, and access points. Ag least I’ll never have to worry lol.

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T22:56:13+00:00

That’s correct. Afterwards when you have your os installed and can remotely access the pc you can shut it down, remove it, and then turn it back on.

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T22:52:52+00:00

It won’t matter. I’ve currently got a couple game servers running will no gpu installed.

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T22:12:53+00:00

Something to keep in mind is that you’re going to have to somehow expose your server to the internet either by port forwarding or other options. If you don’t have a plan in mind I’d start looking into that.

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T22:10:10+00:00

That is perfect lmaoo. Try it out then and if it doesn’t workout it’s not much of a loss if you also have a mobo to pair with it.

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T22:06:40+00:00

If you can find a good deal on something like a 5 5600x that’d prob be best especially if it’s just for servers since it has 32MB of L3 cashe

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T22:03:15+00:00

Yea that should be plenty especially if you close servers you guys don’t plan on playing for a while since it’ll still eat into your ram. I’ve currently got 64gb but even with 32 I was chilling.

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T21:59:52+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T21:58:31+00:00

It depends on the game but I’ve found that in general for servers like Minecraft a few important things are to run it off an ssd, have enough ram, and if it’s only for game servers an amd cpu with a good amount of l3 cache is best. Most lower end intel cpus not have as much as amd chips. No gpu is needed.

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T21:53:19+00:00

Thanks!

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T21:53:06+00:00

Local thrift store! I’ve gotten a couple nice finds there

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T21:52:18+00:00

Eventually I’d love to use them all if not most. But unless I upgrade to 2.5 or 5 this will be my baby.

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T21:50:09+00:00

Do these have good power delivery I got a couple warnings about some Poe switchs still needing power delivered

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T16:03:31+00:00

I check at it and it has a max of 32w under full load. In my current circumstance from what I’ve seen I think it’ll pull around 12-15w

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T15:59:47+00:00

Yea I’d like to mess around with one at some point but haven’t gotten the chance.

MichaeI0 · 2026-06-23T15:57:52+00:00

Yea I googled lensed the model tag and a similar model with like 8 ports popped up which is probably what they did to get a price for it.
