Literally any hobby I have seriously messed with.
Although- racecars was never cheap.
My homelab started off pretty cheap. But, at this point, I am quite certain I have a few thousand bucks worth of hardware. Shit- I have two thousand bucks in just HDDs, SSDs/NVMes...
Homelab for me too. Started off with a repurposed gaming PC and exploded into multiple hosts, tons of drives, and an itch to keep expanding
Yea....
I'm up to over 140T of storage,
I have a FULLY loaded r730XD, 256G of ram, all drive bays filled. All PCIe LANES used. (ie, lots of bifurcation).
I have a proxmox cluster consisting of it, a few SFFs, and a couple MFFs. 10G connectivity for everything but the micros.
Have a ceph cluster. Have a kubernetes cluster. Have iBGP routing in place, multiple firewalls.
I have a bit of everything here. Its a fun hobby.
Oh, and don't forget, a 20kwh entire home UPS / battery backup, with another 2.4kwh dedicated to the server rack.
