Building a M920x with 4 NVMe and 10gig Ethernet is very tempting.
Hey that’s almost me! My home lab is three M920q systems with 10Gb fiber for Ceph. I didn’t know you could do multiple NVMes though, right now I’m doing some janky AF USB drives.

I just bought a fridge after my 15 year old one shit out. Let me tell you, trying to find a decently sized, dumb fridge with an ice and water dispenser is like finding the holy grail.
Samsung has evidently partnered with some timelords to get over 30 cu ft of fridge space in a 70"tall frame - including their door sized tablet.
Bosch has the next biggest but locks stuff behind an smart app. Hell, even LG has smart features to help you with your ice maker that will probably either be DOA or will break in a year.
I finally found a Whirlpool that isn’t smart and has a decent sized fridge, but it was a struggle.


That’s what I did for my wedding - shoutcast with a requests plugin so the wedding party and guests could choose what songs to play.
They’re actually about the same heat wise. I use some relative cheap NICs based on the Intel 82599 controller and 10G SFP+ modules.
It’s not a bad setup, I wish there was a second NVMe slot in my M920q boxes, but what are you going to do?
