Repurposing old gaming PC for first homelab
I’ve been aware of homelabbing for a while and have previously hosted a few game servers, but I’m looking to get more serious about it.
I recently upgraded my main PC and now have my old system available. I want to repurpose it as a dedicated homelab.
SPECS
cpu: 10700f
gpu: 1660S
ram: 32 gigs ddr4
storage: 500gb ssd
I am mainly interested in running game servers and a media server. Still open to experimenting and learning more.
Any recommendations are appreciate.
I also have about 100 dollars if I need to buy anything to run it.
