I built a home server

This is a project that I decided to do because I was going through some of my old tech and noticed that I had just about everything for a home server, and the only parts I needed were RAM and a CPU fan.
The parts involved are the following:
Proxmox Operating System
Rufus—Bootable drive software
Asus H110 motherboard
Intel Core i7-7700 CPU
8GB DDR4 3200 RAM
Corsair 1000W power supply, fully modular
Seagate 8TB hard drive
500 GB hard drive (for the operating system)
Uphere 120 mm fan
UPS Battery Backup
Basic keyboard
I had 2 sticks of RAM, but the motherboard has a bad RAM slot.
Overall, it took about a week to put together due to the mounting process, a restart in progress due to a system bug, and learning how to set up files and software in Linux.
Here's what it looks like so far:
As of now, it's just a prototype and will eventually be upgraded into a cabinet server in the future with more power and storage.
Once I have R.I.S.E. completed, I will be able to install it onto the server, which will allow it to be more than just a computer program.
