Does anyone else use old equipment for homelab use? If so, what are you running? (i.imgur.com)

A few years ago I had a couple old and slow Optiplex's running Hyper-V, with Windows/Linux VM's, doing things like NPS, AD, etc.

Had some old equipment collecting dust, so I've built out a decent homelab and am curious if anyone else has done the same, and if so what are they running on them for fun?

In my new "rack":

PowerEdge R430
- Running ProxMox, with a Windows VM (DC), and a Linux VM with Docker for Plex
EqualLogic PS4100
- VM storage for both PowerEdge servers (10TB)
Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 24 250w
PowerEdge R720
- Running ProxMox, with some Linux VM's, most utilizing Docker for Plex "assistance/automations" (ahem), NextCloud for phone photo backup and wife's photography, and another DC as a failover of R430's DC.

Nice! How do you like Unraid? Haven't messed with that yet, but it looks pretty slick
