Advise-Spare Gear for XCP-NG/Other Uses

Computer Hardware & Server Infrastructure Builds
1

Option 1: Wanted to know if any of the Gear I got is worth keeping hold of (Listed Below).

Option 2: Build a Second Storage/VM Box Equivalent to my FreeNAS.

Option 3: Save for a Synology box (if so What model as I can fill 12 bays easy) and convert the FreeNas box to XCP-NG.

Option 4: Use my Extra Custom PC for VM’s and Scrap all others due to Power draw and age while using the FreeNas as backend storage.

I felt it would be better to ask for a second opinion on the matter as I been sorting through the spare bones shelf lately; if more info is needed I’ll gladly add it as my goal is to get VM’s up and running.

As a side note: Got some Raspberry Pi’s X2 B3+ models and a single 4GB Pi 4 that are kicking around; the Pi 4 is going to be a Cloud Key2 with Pi-Hole hopefully. :neutral_face:

Thanks in advance everyone from both a Big Fan and Technology Enthusiast. :sunglasses: :+1:

P.S. It was late when I wrote this, so ya; thus all the edits. :bed::zzz:
