I bought an OptiPlex 7040 refurbished off of Amazon and running Endeavour OS. Beautiful machine. I bought it cuz I got tired of using laptops and a desktop like this to work on at my desk has been so much better.

Sweet! I really like the refurbished, small, business PCs for all sorts of fun home server stuff.
Yeah. Dell is great for desktops especially optiplex, but for my server I bought a used Dell Precision T3600 off of eBay. Managed to put 32 GB of ram in it which has been much better than the 8 GB it came with. Planning on buying a second T3600 when I can, but at the moment I have to make due with what I have. I’m planning on trying to use my Odroid XU4 to host Kibana so I can spread the load a bit more cuz I want to run Fluentbit + Elastic Search on the server. Also going to bust out my T440p and hopefully it still works well enough to slap Malcolm on it since I think Malcolm would run much better on bare metal and I can prolly use the T440p with other server tasks as well.
