# ahwxinator (ahw-xi-na-tor), this server has been retired due to a dead CPU and me wanting Xeon's and ECC ram.

ahwxinator is meant to be my new storage server, as well as serve some websites, do some management for my other servers, containers and it might have a windows vm in the future.

# why?

• i, my family and youtube videos need storage
• i dont want to upgrade (the case atleast) any time soon
• i want to have it rackmounted
• i am somewhat of a a data hoarder
• it's a cool project
• i want silence (thus liquid cooling)
