Here is one of my servers.



Here is the rest of the stack.



The top system is four half-width, dual Xeon socket nodes, each with dual Intel Xeon E5-2690 (v1) (8-core, 2.9 GHz stock, upto 3.3 GHz full load, upto 3.6 GHz max TurboBoost, HTT disabled, 16-cores total per node), with 128 GB of DDR3-1866 2Rx4 ECC Registered RAM (8x 16 GB), and an Intel 545 Series 1 TB SATA 6 Gbps SSD and at least one HGST 3 TB 7,200 rpm SATA 6 Gbps HDD.

Each node also has a dedicated 10/100 Mbps LAN for IPMI, and dual gigabit LAN, and recently I just added in a Mellanox ConnectX-4 dual (QSFP28) port 4x EDR Infiniband (100 Gbps) network card in there.

Combined, the system has a total of 64 cores, 512 GB, and around 808 Gbps of total network throughput capacity. That is powered by a redundant (1+1) 1620W power supply, which it will consume at peak load. (Backed up with a 3000W UPS).

That used to be connect to two separate Xeon data and file servers (one had a single, single core Xeon in there, originally 30 TB raw and the other was a dual Xeon, 4-core, 1.6 GHz, 60 TB raw), but since then, I've moved both of those servers to two Qnap TS-832x 8-bay NAS systems (lower power consumption, uses an AL 4-core ARM processor, has dual gigabit ethernet and dual SFP 10GbE ports as well.)

Since these pictures were taken, I also no longer use the cabinet as well due to thermal management issues.

I also have two smaller workstations, each with a single Xeon E5-2690 (v1), and also 128 GB of ECC Registered RAM (except they're DDR3-1333 4Rx4, so they only run at DDR3-800 speeds on account of it). One of them has a Quadro K6000 for a video card (which I also use for GPU computations) and the other only has I think a EVGA GTX660 in it right now whilst I debate whether I want to drop a K6000 in there as well.

And that also doesn't inclue my primary workstation, which is only an Intel Core i7 3930K (6-core, 3.2 GHz stock, upto 3.5 GHz, HTT disabled) and only 64 GB of RAM with a Quadro 5000.

Throughout my house, I have probably somewhere in the neighbourhood of between 150-200 TB of raw total storage capacity across all of the drives that I have (those that are installed in systems, and those are just sort of more "free standing" (e.g. USB drives and whatnot).
