Haven't done anything on this website in a few months but recently I pulled a cool toy out of the e-waste bit at work.
This is the Barracuda Network's Backup Server 490.
This is actually a gently customized Supermicro server built to spec for Barracuda Network's who is selling it as a different product. The name of the enclosure itself is actually the Supermicro CSE-813M.
Not much to it but the internal layout is completely standardized meaning I can install anything I want.
Above is the stuff it came with but I'm gonna swap most of it out for the stuff below for the low low price of free.
4x500GB SSD
4x8GB DDR4 RDIMM ECC 2133MHz
4x1Gbit NIC
Intel Xeon E5-2637v3 quad core.
Narrow-ILM LGA2011 1U compatible heatsink
I need a handful of parts to arrive before I start but I might do a build log on the project. I know the build logs aren't very popular though so it's going to be pretty low effort. For the few who would be interested in seeing me build this.
The end goal is either a VyOS or pfSense based router build. Very overkill, but I don't care.
