Original caption

POV: data centers paid over $10,000 for this server… now you can grab one for under $1K 👀 Meet the Dell PowerEdge R740. 16 drive bays, room for 3TB of RAM, dual Xeon CPUs — the exact box that ran actual businesses. It's loud and it drinks power, but if you want to start a home lab with Proxmox, Unraid, or Plex, nothing touches it for the price. Would you put one in your house, or is the fan noise a dealbreaker? 👇 🛒 Link in bio — it's in my Home Lab & Servers collection @dell #homelab, #techtok, #server, #dell, #homenetworking
