Specs are slightly in flux right now, but basically it’s an HP ML310e Gen 8, with a random HDD cage on top for 4 additional drives, and a bunch of fans zip tied to the front to cool the 6 internal drives. Oh, and a little 7" display stuck to the side which I’ll get a stats readout on soon.
Xeon E3-1220 v3, 32GB ECC RAM, 40TB array, Quadro M2000.
It’s running Unraid and I use it as a media server (Plex, Sonarr, Radarr) as well as a backup for my music and video production, and general stuff (NextCloud, Photoprism).
The machine itself is so stupid and hacked together, built entirely from used parts I got cheap on ebay. It’s probably cost me £300 max, all in.

High quality zip ties with a reasonable amount of the machine actually inside the case. I would say this is above average.
Right? The zip ties even have trimmed tails!
If it’s stupid but it works, it’s not stupid.
LOL, it has a case. How is that ghetto?
Well… Most of it has a case.
You had me with “Specs are slightly in flux right now”. Beautiful.
If it works, is safe, and is maintainable, there’s no shame in it. My unraid box has some unorthodox drive mounting too.

Untill I read the specs I though you might have built a custom router in there as well with the antennas
This is not remotely ghetto, this is really well done. Sure the fans are a bit wonky but that is one hell of a machine for the money.
Well done!
Thanks very much! Yeah it’s kind of endearingly ghetto, but I’m really happy with it.
Beautiful. Very respectful fan job. That said, there’s not enough cardboard in your setup. Here’s inspiration:
