No GN video with Wendell is worth watching. There is nothing in it except Wendell's three poses he takes in every video.
GN should do what they usually do, not this.

It is a 45 Drives Stornado F1. A similar used chassis would be a Dell R730xd
In Wendells own video he's mentioning 45drives, a custom server manufacturer.
that's it, thank you
Nice, but I quite didn't understand the utility of this video
On the one hand they were talking selfhosting and then they pull out multiple $10s thousands rack servers. People don't need a data centre at home to sync some files, pictures, email and play some media!
