Been building up a homelab slowly aquiring the hardware, to replace isp hardware with a personal modem, an Opnsense baremetal box, Storage server for Jellyfin, family media backups, and MakeMKV/handbreak and soon a proxmox cluster. Hardware: M720q i5 9500t 32gb ram and about 500gb nvme for logs with i350 t5 nic via pcie adapter and a i226-v where the wifi card used to be for wireguard connection, hoping it will be stable as it's a baremetal Opnsense build, if not can just use the port it came with. HP EliteDesk 800 G3 with i7 7700T and 16 GB ram and about 30 tb storage between SSD, nvme on PCIE adapters and HDD, running storage for the proxmox cluster. The cluster is going to handle Jellyfin, transcoding at 1080p and some AI models.

Currently using a Thinkpad T440 I had impulse bid on and got for $13 as a wifi AP since the used Unifi ap I picked is being returned as doa.
Most is getting moved to a small wall mounted cabinet when setting up the cluster and cable management will be attended to then.just happy to have some tangible progress finally, especially after a few hours of frustrated troubleshooting and making some things more complicated than they needed to be.
