Hardware

The Town Square is currently running on a Dell Optiplex 5050 that I bought on eBay for $60. It lives on the bottom shelf of some IKEA IVAR set up in my office. It's connected to a gigabit switch which hooks to the router through a powerline ethernet adapter. Not a perfect setup but it works fine for my needs.

A while back the 500 GB drive the thing came with died, but fortunately that wasn't part of the actually used storage of the server. The RAID is still running just fine 👌
