I’m not sure what you’d want to run in a homelab that would use even 10 machines, but it could be fun to find out.

It all started with the discovery that these old (but not ancient, most of them are intel 7th gen) computers were being auctioned off for like $20 a piece. From there I started trying to work backwards towards something I could do with them.
