That's why I still use a ~15 year old Supermicro server chassis with desktop foot kit on it lol. I've upgraded the innards 2 or 3 times so far. Has 8 hotswap bays, tons of room. no fucking RGB or "windows" or any of that bullshit.

I just built an i9-13900K replaced the LGA1366 2P board in it. It's an astounding performance bump, to mildly put it lol. I plan on using this chassis with this setup for probably another 5-10 years before upgrading again.

refs?

going forward I will either be using ReFS or ZFS. It will depend on what OS I decide to leave on this new build.
No I mean, thanks for the brand, but what's the precise model? Supermicro what?
OH! Omg. I read that as ReFS and not “reference” lol.

Case I’m using is a SC743TQ-1200B-SQ

I love it. I have 6 more of them that I use for various things (3 are dedicated to my plex cluster).
