Here is my current primary station.
I work from home so I’ve got quite a bit of planning into mine (though I recently recabled a lot of stuff and it isn’t final, so excuse the rats nest under the workstation).
The workstation parts can be found here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/dajjhman/saved/#view=kGcfHx
The network is multi-homed with two ISPs over different mediums, with about 4 kW-hr of backup energy for the primary workstation alone (and more for each switch and ISP interconnection).
Combined I have over 30TB worth of storage in that beast and growing.
Cheers,
