That is a very stylish rack. Nice setup overall.
Edit: ouch, nice and pricey.
fair enough. mine is a single mini pc with loads of ram, because that’s perfectly fine for what i do.
server workloads for just a few users won’t demand too much hardware. if it’s good, it’s good, and your physical setup seems nice enough already.
Isn’t that way too noisy right next to your work desk? Especially if you do audio recordings there?
May I ask. What is it you do on these systems, as in why do you need something like this?
To securely, privately, rapidly download and store a variety of of Linux distributions. Almost all homelab is about downloading and storing Linux distributions.
Needs a painting or a rug to really pull the room together.
A painting of a rug would be perfect
I would say your music could benefit a lot from a rug that diffuses some sound waves.
(Also a short stand for speakers)
Nice job on cables though!
what’s with all these speaker jokes?
Homelab being finished? That’s heresy!
Oh, it’s never finished. There is always just one more thing.
Also specs?
Top (my desktop)
- AMD Ryzen 5 8500G (no dGPU, because I do 90% of my work in the terminal)
- 1 TB NVME
- 32 GB DDR5
- NixOS
Bottom (server)
- AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
- 8 GB RAM DDR4
- in total 4 TB NVME
- NixOS
(nvme and noctua only)
A homelab is never finished.
Nice and clean. Amazing cable management.
I have to ask, why the giant 4u cases if you have such a minimal set up inside (no dgpu, 4 nvme drives, no hdds)? Did you get a smoking deal on them (I got one that looks to be the same for $50 😎), or just to future proof in case you want to throw 40 hdds in them some day?
It’s nice not to have to fit everything into 1U or 2U enclosures, and yes, also a bit of future-proofing.
Plus, space for big Noctuas to minimize noise? (That the way I went.)
Yes
That’s fair. Must be nice and cool in there for all your components haha.
Finished…for now.
Where subwoofers
The cable sleeve joining the cables from the keyboard and mouse and then going around the monitor stand looks soo smooth.
That’s a legitimately beautiful setup.
A second monitor is what’s missing.
‘if you go fuck a dude and he has 2 monitor’s and a light up keyboard, just go home’
