Doing something scrappy with an old laptop is cool. Hey, built in UPS if the battery still works!

Doing something powerful and reliable with server class hardware is also very cool.

If it is meeting your needs, I'm happy for you.

Who says it's overkill?

That said I literally started selfhosting on a Thinkpad W520. With the full 32 gigs of ram it ran ESXI great. Plus you can't beat a built in UPS.

I was going to buy a mini PC to run along with it when I needed more, but I just opted to take old desktop parts and combine my NAS with everything else.

You seldom hear from the folks running a half dozen VMs on a laptop.

That's probably me. Blame it to working with automation systems that span from the early 90s to present day.
