The first 380 with 64 bit support if i remember correctly

Not even an ADSL modem caught fire and that was hit by lightning so good that it partially melted. The power adapter was varm afterwards but not critically so

It started with a laptop with a broken screen (a Compaq Armada something).
It was my work laptop and instead of throwing it on the scrapheap I adopted it and took it home.

It was trash for my Company. For me it was:
* A small NAS (one harddrive and one cdrom)
* A UPS for that NAS (laptop battery)
* A printer server (It had a LPT port)
* A router (US Robotics Courier modem on the serial port)

I was truly sad when its motherboard failed a number of years later.

The favorite is not in the homelab but my workstation. Built on a HFX mini chassis with a Ryzen 3600 and a 1650 graphics card - zero moving parts and zero noise. You have to look at the power led to know if its on
