    Some options I use/have used in the past that I wanted to add:
    Firewall: installed on bare metal or VMs there is also Sophos XG Home that is also free, it's less lightweight than something like pfsense/opnsense so you WILL lose performance if you don't throw fast single core CPUs (not an issue if you have

    I'm IT and looking to get into CyberSecurity. A question that was asked on a Job Interview was, "Tell Me about Your Home Network". From that question I realized that I needed to invest in HomeLab and hadn't put in time and money into developing my Home Network and segmenting my network more. Thanks for the Video.

    What a gem of a video, I was fortunate enough to build my home label with some older stuff, I just wanted to learn the basics. I one tip I tell folks is you dont have to break the bank.
    My lab consists of 5 machines, two of which are mac and the rest a combo of windows, windows server and Linux. An assort of switches, and a few watch dog firewalls. Most of my money went into software like burpsuite and virtual machine licenses.

    58:10 In my experience, Intel Desktop PCs use about 30W and Ryzen PCs about 50W at Idle.
    100-120W would be more in the range of a Dell PowerEdge R710 / R720.
    The Mini-PCs usually draw about 10W at Idle, a Raspberry pi even under 5W.

    Addiction... Right on the money... I read an article - homelab for $0 on old laptop - and that is what/how I started but things can go quickly out of hands... Even with small things like HDDs, or switches or Raspberry Pi-szszsss... It's hundred here, hundred there, 20 becomes change, then 50 bucks is sooo cheap - at the end... nothing is cheap if you don't need or use it.

    Even though there is a huge range of products, it would be nice to have a low-end list of items and estimated pricing... What I've seen looks like > $5,000 for all "recommended" parts... so I either missed something, or I'm not the intended audience...

    I looks to me like you can heat your house with that equipment. jk I have access to all the enterprise equipment I could ever use. But my philosophy is I don't want to use that much electricity. For me I use a Lenovo mini with a large SSD drive that I run ESXi on. That really does most all I need for a home lab. Rarely do I need more than two or three vms at a time for testing.

    Not sure why I was shared this in recommendations but interesting. The best I can tell, a home lab is a hardware sandbox for hardware testing at an infrastructure/network level and the software that accompanies or aligns with it. The ability to throw various relevant things at it in regards to what could be considered attacks or vulnerabilities security wise to discover weaknesses. Network testing. Would be curious for feedback on this extremely limited understanding.

      MS will let you use server OS trial for 180 days. There's github scripts out there to get around this or you can just tear it down and rebuild every 180 days.
