Hey everyone. So I just inherited a Dell R720 from work. I don’t know the full specs on it yet, but it’s got a 24 core processor and about 380 GB of memory. I need to buy my own drives, though. I honestly have no idea what to do with this. I’ve dreamed of having a home lab, but only ever thought about hosting a Unifi controller and a plex or jellyfin server. I’ll probably put Proxmox on it to manage everything. What recommendations do you all have for making use of this server? I’m honestly open to anything!

Do you know how much power it uses?
I think it depends on what you want to learn! I wanted to be able to clone a lot of systems I have at work, so I installed VMware via VMUG, then installed AD, radius, ADFS, SCCM, and some Linux hosts.
