Hi all,
I've got a pair of microservers and I'm wondering what to use the spare one for.

*Gen7 n36L, upgraded with 4gb ECC memory with a boot drive and 2 x 1TB storage. Currently just use it to infrequently back up the data files (not media) on the gen8, so it is off most of the time.

*Gen8 upgraded with an Intel Xeon E3-1260L CPU and 16gb ECC memory, running a small 500gb boot drive and 2 x 8TB WD reds.
I run a weekly R-sync between both WD reds to keep things simple.
It is used as a NAS running OMV, general file storage, Plex, dlna for music etc.

I have just finished hardwiring the downstairs with CAT6 and have a 24port gigabit switch and patch unit. Was tempted to get a POE switch to run a few cameras, but think my gen8 can handle that anyway.

Can you think of a use for the n36L? Otherwise I'll see if a family member wants it!
Cheers
