Hello there! I've hinted toward this project in various forum posts, but I'll cut to the chase. I'm in the final phase of a long-awaited server project, which began back in 2017/2018. However, I never got to actually acquire any of the parts until 2019/2020. With the massive gap in time, I had to change things up a bit, due to market forces and parts availability. The server is meant to replace (and extend) my current workstation - a Dell Precision T7500. This is what I've ended up with as of the 2020/2021 transition:
CSE :: HPE ProLiant DL580 G7
CPU :: 4x Intel Xeon E7-8870's (10c/20t each; 40c/80t total)
RAM :: 256GB (64x4GB) DDR3-1333 PC3-10600R ECC
PCIe :: 1x HP 512843-001/591196-001 System I/O board +
GPU :: 1x nVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan Xp +
NIC :: 1x HPE NC524SFP (489892-B21)
I/O :: 1x HPE PCIe ioDuo MLC I/O Accelerator (641255-001)
Here is the current software configuration plan for the server:
* Temporary task that will be replaced by a permanent, self-hosted solution
** Can benefit from port forwarding, but will be primarily tunnel-bound
^ Tunnel-bound (VPN/SSH) role - not port forwarded/exposed to the Internet
+ Active Directory enabled - Single Sign On (SSO)
If you want more details about the project posted here, please let me know.
There are four other mirrors for this project, all of which get updated when new developments get made:

- Windows 10 LTSC (Moonlight Gamestream**, DaVinci Resolve, Console Game Emulators, modpack dev., etc.)
- Temporary/Test VM (for when I want to host a temporary role/application, without impacting mission-critical infrastructure)
