Believe it or not all of this was less than $950. Mainly used ebay and Facebook madket place for some great deals. Order those smaller thiner patch cables, so that's gonna get cleaned up well here soon.

I need to learn a lot more about hotspots for server racks and equipment and where to get decent deals.

I initially wanted to build a desktop to serve as a starter homelab but I fear that it will get outgrown very quickly and feel that maybe finding a cheap rack and building in it incrementally might be a better way of doing things.

What’s the wattage like on that puppy?

The D71 is an awesome idea, which I am instantly stealing. Thanks a lot!

That's dope! How much storage have you got there?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Right now only 80TBs but I'm gonna keep adding more soon

Whatcha doing with dem dere Pi's? I like that 1U doohickey you have there for em. Also, I see lots of folks using the CyberPower 2U UPS like yours? Are they good? Must be probably? I've seen quite a few user posts using that or similar CyberPower units. UniFi goodness. This foto cured my OCD for the day, thank you very much :)

Did you measure how much this adds to monthly electricity cost? Do you mind sharing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

That's a very decent setup. What are you running on it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Care to share more details. Do you like the udm pro? I just ordered it. Any tips on getting the hardware from FB marketplace. I'm always skeptical about getting server hardware from there.

What are the specs of the gen8’s?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Ah a NetApp (Network Appliance) DS14 mk2 disk shelf. Now that’s some tech I’ve not seen in a long time.

What do you have it plugged into?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Can't wait for "bring your lab to work day" 😉

I'm digging those displays at the top and the "everything" passthru panel. Slick, buddy!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

The keystone panel will trigger everyones ocd

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Whats that dual screen setup up top?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

That is a pretty nice setup.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Looks dope. Why'd you connect the switch to your UDM using Ethernet instead of the SFP ports? Get that sweet 10gig connection.

Any link for you got your patch panel with the USBs?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Those actually look like they are rack-mounted Raspberry Pis

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Good eye, they are

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

It's a patch keystone panel and just used RJ45, USB, and HDMi keystones

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

What’s the full setup?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Very cool looking - what are the two screen at the top used for?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago
