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?
Fix your defective ram and hdd!
That’s a very decent setup. What are you running on it?
Getouttatown! $950! I mean that’s a pretty amazing setup.
The D71 is an awesome idea, which I am instantly stealing. Thanks a lot!
That’s dope! How much storage have you got there?
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
Nice
Very cool looking - what are the two screen at the top used for?
What are the specs of the gen8’s?
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?
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!
