Inexpensive Xeon CPUs on eBay compelled me to build a homelab machine for hosting virtual machines.

I spent $120 on eBay to build a point-to-point 10GbE network between my PC, DIY NAS, and homelab machines.

I got a little bit jealous building the DIY NAS: 2016 Edition, so I used it as inspiration to upgrade my own DIY NAS.

A DIY NAS featuring FreeNAS, an ASRock C2750D4I motherboard, an Intel Avoton C2750 CPU, 16GB DDR3 ECC RAM, a UNAS NSC-800 case, and 28TB of storage.
