### Linux server
I am using a Linux distribution with a rolling release. Continues updates keeps the installation up-to-date and I avoid having to upgrade to next 'stable' release every 2 years. Upgrading to next 'stable' release means days of work with reinstallations and broken configurations. And 2 years later I have forgotten how I configured it last time. With a rolling release I install once and update regularly. I hardly had any issues with these frequent updates. It keeps the server fresh and secure. Short downtimes are not a serious matter for my home server.

+A Soldam Alcadia ZR300 Black Knight Casing I bought in Japan 2009. It can fit an extended-ATX motherboard inside and plenty of hard drives. I do not need any tools to it open since the screws can be removed by hand.

It is handy to have a hard drive docking station. I also acts as an external drive. Always have some spare drives around.
