Upgrading my DL360p G8 soon, got myself 2x Xeon 2670 V2 for $10 CAD ($7.5 USD) each, the current CPUs are 2 Xeon 2660 V1, so not the most efficient.
Also got a used Dell H200E SAS card for $40 CAD ($30 USD), and some SFF-8088 cables (to make a DAS). I already have 8 drives I'll put in an old Antec 900 case (as the DAS).
The DL360p already has a 2.4TB in a raid 5, the 8 new drives will be in a ZFS through Proxmox. I'll deal with the pass through when I get there!
It's a 1U server, so it's noisy, thankfully there's a modded ilo4 firmware with fan controls out there, it's a bit of a pain to flash, but worth it! Controlling the fans manually and having them at 19-22% is amazing!

Pass-through on proxmox got more complicated in an annoying way.
Any old guide to enable the vfio-pci drivers no longer works. Only thing I found that does is blacklisting the driver but thats system wide. It means nothing else can use that driver either.
It might be possible to pin-point the HBA card using Device ID but I haven't investegated blocking it's driver when vfio-pci is unavailable.

hope you have fun with it.
If Proxmox would stop being anoying !
I got the "black screen install" bug, turns out it's not hard to fix, but the tons of threads about this (from people having the same issue) all assume you're a Proxmox expert and instructions are VERY vague.
Thankfully, found a thread where the person having the problem replied with "and how to I do that" and the next reply was clear.

Get a larger unit (2-3U) if you hate ear-piercing fan noise. Larger ones have fans that aren't as annoying in a house.
I installed the modded iLO4 that slows down the fans to make it silent

Reddit is legit trying to take Twitter's decline and speedrun it.

MoCoord is a good place to see wtf is happening, and it's not pretty.
Other subs have had they mod teams purged by Reddit admins, looks like they're brute forcing it.
