Having what is essentially XCP-NG Center from a browser would be nice, no more need to install something on a Windows machine just to get some basic stuff set up until you get a full XOA instance running. Yes I know you can just grab the demo with a single command, but sometimes you want to configure a few things first.

Here is mine

HP DL360e Gen 8 for Truenas, 96GB of RAM, more processors than it needs, and 8x500 drives, NFS share for the VMs

3x HP DL360p gen 8 for XCP-NG with 128GB of RAM and 20c40t worth of processors.

10gbps networking to a Mikrotik switch, also an old Cisco 2960s for a second gigabit network (with POE+)

There is also a cheap GPS/GNSS NTP clock at the top of the rack, just too far to show these other items.

I like the spinning lights on the drives, just wish it was a little faster.

Thank you, that's what I thought and why I was willing to buy the lower end CPU in order to get the project through. At the time going for the larger Gold would have doubled the cost of each server.
