 ### Servers
 
-I was already having one server and I wanted to keep that first stone, but it had 2 main problems:
-- Only one network interface, I wanted at least 2.
-- Old hardware, 5 years old, limited compatibility option.
+I already had one server that served as the cornerstone of my homelab, and I wanted to keep it. But it had two major drawbacks:

+- **Aging Hardware:** It was over five years old, and its compatibility options were becoming limited.
 
-For the missing NIC, I researched a way to add one. I thought about an USB adapter, but then I discovered I could use the internal M.2 port of the WiFi module to connect a 2.5Gbps adapter.
+For the missing NIC, I considered a USB adapter but then stumbled upon a better solution: using the internal M.2 port, originally meant for a WiFi module, to connect a 2.5Gbps adapter. It was a perfect fit.

+Regarding hardware, my existing server was powered by an AM4 Ryzen 3 2200G with 16GB of RAM. To keep things consistent and simplify compatibility, I decided to stick with the AM4 socket for all nodes.
