Hey! My turn for the long delay. Are you still interested in the Dell r720? Turns out the idrac is bricked, which means a new motherboard according to Dell. I am still interested in the optiplex if you’re looking to part with it.

I’ve got the external IP addresses down pat. I’m with you in that I’ve never quite figured out how to do the same with local IP addresses.

While I would be open to a trade, I’d be more looking for something like the Synology that I already have, just not so walled garden. I currently have a number of 2.5 and 3.5 inch disks that I’d like to keep using, and I think the Optiplex is more of just a regular desktop than a server?

Huh, I’m also in the PNW. This could work out. I think it’s a bit too much for my needs, and I really don’t have the space for it. That said, I do want to learn how to use it, and get it up and running, etc. But after that I would definitely be looking to get something more practical. And quiet if it’s as loud as people are saying.

Uff, I wouldn’t even know how to ship that without it costing an arm and a leg
