Its all consumer hardware but it’s a dedicated box running unraid.

• I3 12100
• 16GB DDR4 ram
• LSI raid card
• Case that allows for lots of 3.5inch drives

I use unraid with 5x8TB drives, 1tb ssd as a cache drive for new transfers (writing to an ssd is faster, it then moves to the array after) 500GB NVME drive for appdata and applications and a 250GB ssd for VMs and ISOs

Dull.

I have seen an XDA set of puddings which I am looking at getting (I don’t use this keeb, but will be nice yo have all XDA)

This is a good question. the bobas have cost me 4x what I paid for the princess, and part of me might like the princess more, they have a more noticeable bump. My only complaint about the princess switch is that they are very clacky. I have swapped out the springs in the bobas to 45g and it has made them feel more poppy and emphasises the tactility.
