Hardware Write-up
I did an exhaustive write up of my lab a few months ago and it died. This will be a trickle attempt to get it back in place. It was useful for referencing my hardware and showing how I have things setup. We do plan on doing it again. Especially cause we know at 9:00 PM tonight the server this is on will be flashed to a backup stockpile 🤣
Notes to self:
Todo ~ Import all hardware from ebay. Skipped most hard drive purchases on ebay (minus the ssds). Need to grab everything on Amazon. Try and summarize most of what is in the lab currently from offer up and craiglist.
Than obviously at some point will start to show how stuff is set up!
