WHY is it so difficult to find a server case that'll hold more than 24 drives, with caddies, for less than $500?

I need more #storage for my #homelab but I'm #broke and I need a #break on a new #server #case...

How am I supposed to convert to a #SAN from a #NAS if I can't afford the toys?

Seriously, if anyone knows of something I could throw a SuperMicro server motherboard in that has 24 3.5 inch drive bays (or more) for a decent deal, near Detroit, please let me know.

So my #albuterol #inhaler now costs $30 each with my very expensive Silver level Blue Cross #insurance. It had been $0 as a generic maintenance med the last 3 years on this same plan

Meanwhile my expensive name brand Spiriva inhaler is still $0

This makes no sense

And after 15 min on the phone with the insurance co, all the nice agents in the Philippines can do is say, yep it costs $30

Oh did I mention my Emergency Room copay went from $75 to $375?

A quotation from Catullus:

«
You’ll dine well, dear Fabullus, in my lodging
one day soon — if the gods look on you kindly,
if you bring along a good and lavish
dinner, not to mention an attractive
girl, plus wine and salt and witty stories.
If, I repeat, you bring this lot, old sweetheart,
you’ll dine well. The thing is, your Catullus
has a purse that’s full — of spiders' cobwebs.
