I already have a nas running on one. I already have a Kodi/HTPC desktop. Running endeavor w/ KDE.
I was going to put regular arch on it but was wondering if anyone had some other ideas.

Failover for essential services (e.g. DNS) so you can take the primary down without issues.

Homebrew router?

I put 3 of them into a proxmox cluster with multi network plugged into the WIFI m.2 A+E slots so they can act as router and other servers and I can migrate from system to system when/if I need to do maintenance.

I was thinking that... Have you tried this?

Yes - I have been running IPFire on an old desktop for several years now and I really like it.

I used an old thin client as a pfSense firewall for years... but the DSL into passthrough mode and effectively made that a modem, so in effect pfSense was the "router"
If you don't have something like that, it's a step up from a standard ISP one.
Not sure about long term power consumption though...

I kinda already have that on my HTPC with retroarch. Any tips for roms? Feel free to dm.
Do you have experience with N64 rooms and modern controllers?

I've tried it twice but can't seem to get the feel for it. I thinknit might be overkill for anything I need.

I was about to say something snarky about VMWare, but... Proxmox took me a bit to get used to, but now that I have it figured out, I really like it. It's totally overkill for me, but one day...

Scratch machine to test Ansible playbooks for maintaining and restoring your other servers.

I just use VM's for that. I recently learned that Vagrant, an infra as code for virtual machines designed for creating testing VMs, creates an Ansible Inventory that you can run your playbooks at.
