Main server on bottom (Threadripper 1950x+64gb+2xRTX3090 1500$ total in prev year) hosts proxmox with ai inference, backups, jellyfin, gitlab runners, vaultwarden and seafile.
My pc (Ryzen 7950x+32gb+7700xt) is temporally inside a rack.
Fortigate 60F (100$ used) with public ip controls all traffic and forwards needed ports.
Full rack (without pc) costed me about 2000$.

I bought everything mainly in research purposes, but turned out to be useful at work (i am Backend Engineer). It helped me to understand how our production servers and their network (especially FortiGate configuration) works.
