Absolute pipe dream:

A single rack, not even the big fridge sizes ones (I think they're 48u I'm not sure but I've seen them on this sub) but one of the crash cart sized ones (I think it's 12u). A couple current generation 1u servers, hardware firewall running OPNSense, wired mesh APs and VoIP phones around the house, symmetrical gigabit internet, static IP, GPU server, UPS and a rack mounted console just for aesthetics, a little desk for tinkering. Motorized microscope. (Bear in mind this is "winning the lottery" level wild, just the microscope and GPU server are probably more expensive than an SUV)

Something realistic:

Hardware firewall running OPNSense, 2 APs, mini computer with I9 processor and GPU for virtualization, 300mb Internet, maybe a Jetson Nano and a little IKEA desk for tinkering, static IP. My current microscopes

GPU server

What would you use it for, out of curiosity?

An uncensored LLM, transcoding Linux ISOs and some image processing for the microscope.
