If you had to start your homelab from scratch... - eviltoast

For reasons unexplained, you have no homelab hardware, but $1,000 in cash earmarked for the purpose.

What are you buying, what are you installing on it, and how is it different from what you’ve done previously (i.e. lessons learned)?

    There’s lots of solutions.

    Cheap:

    But a full tower PC case with room for 10+ HDDs. Lot of options like those from Fractal, CoolerMaster, etc.

    Enterprise (expensive):

    Buy a JBOD with a backplane that you plug all your discs into then plug that into a server.
