Ember runs Arch Linux and is my primary “workspace” server. It hosts most of my files, projects, and repositories, acting as the central site for Syncthing and an instance of Lanman. After being upgraded from a Celeron to Xeon it has also become the occassional build server and retro-VM host and so on.

It is hosted at the server room at work, with 1 Gbps network access. It also has a Mellanox ConnectX-3 10 Gbps Ethernet card installed (the upgraded CPU has PCI Express Gen3 lanes), connecting it directly to Wind over fiber.

Notes

The E3-1265L V2 is slightly too powerful for the stock 35W heatsink, so the firmware is set to "Increased Cooling" to compensate.
Only two of the HDD bays are SATA 3.0 (6 Gbps); the other two are SATA 2.0 (3 Gbps).
Sometimes reports ECC-corrected memory errors.
