Wait, why wouldn’t you 3D print (or order) the official mainboard enclosure and use it as a cheap home server? You could at least sell it or pass it along to someone else who would.
i don’t have a 3D printer. granted there’s a cooler master mainboard case but it’s 45€ and i would still have to add at least four expansion cards for 85€ (ethernet, 2x usb-c, hdmi) a power adapter for 120€ and mass storage (maybe even some ram modules if i can reuse the old ones). at that point i’m running a bill for turning that mainboard into a server where i could just buy a new dedicated one.
