    Server
    Since this is a home server, it is a low budget one since its second-hand. You will see on the pictures why
    It is used as a test environment, especialy for pentesting.

    Operating System
    VMware ESXi
    CPU
    8 CPUs x 2.83GHz (Dual CPU) Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5440
    RAM
    48GB Samsung DDR2
    Motherboard
    Supermicro X7DW3
    Storage
    2x 1TB, had a SSD in it for database testing (only using SSD web/database servers now!)
    Power supply
    800W

    Pics
    Since it's a cheap-as-possible build and the motherboard is a special big format, it doesn't suit in every case haha.

    Thanks for sharing guys! That's awesome! It's always nice to see what others are running. With my current setup I'd say I should be good for several years. I don't do a whole lot of gaming anymore, that's why I settled for a middle-grade GPU, but overall it still outperforms the hell out of everything. It'll be a nice workbench for dev work, virtual stuff, trial & error and anything for that matter.

    I'm running Windows 7 x64 right now. If I were to upgrade I'd go to Win 10, but I just dislike the "icon" menus now as well as the fact that MS likes to spy on stuff.
    With my watercooled system I am surprised at how cool it stays. When I was running stress tests for 24 hours+, the highest I saw it climb was 26 degrees Celsius. On average I run at 19-20 degrees Celsius.

    Posting another image of the whole case. This is probably the cleanest (least cluttered) setup I have built, but cords will always be inevitable and a pain. I saw some cases that have slots to feed the cords through on the other side so it looks clean. I might do that at some point in the future, but for now this works for me.
