I've actually wondered what other people's lab setups look like and this was fun to watch! Before I got married I had a chaotic home lab with everything from old optiplexes to flashed hp chromeboxes. Love seeing other people having the same chaos haha!

@myleshudson7856 2 жыл бұрын

I am honestly honoured to recieve the Cute AF build award. The case is a Fractal Design Node 804. Theres 4x4tb ironwolf drives in there, a 1tb hard drive, 2 ssds and a LSI sas card. Ryzen 2200g and 16gb ram. The server is on 24/7 pulls around 130w max, Included fans run almost silent.

@nimblor 2 жыл бұрын

That is very similar to my set up. I have a 4770k in mine and it idles just over 60 watts. I'm interested in a lower power but equally robust CPU but have not found one. I'm currently anti-rack if for no other reason than I don't want to buy a rack.

@@nimblor i was considering a rack but saw the 804 for £77 on amazon. Upgraded my pc that week and so transferred all my old parts into the case and ordered 4x4tb NAS drives and found some ssds scattered around my room

Node 804 is great, it houses my Proxmox server that has 4x 4TB drives, a Ryzen 3600, 32GB of memory and an RX550. Proxmox is running VMs with TrueNAS, Portainer and an Ubuntu server VM I use for DevOps and Automation development. I then use a MacBook Air M1 to admin everything remotely via Nginx Reverse Proxy and/or TailScale.

The case is a Fractal Design Node 804. I have one and have an unraid setup in it with 5 10tb sas drives. It also has a tiny dvd drive slot and space for 2 ssd in the front cover and I think one below the motherboard. possibly more if you want to cram them in. It is a great case if you can handle the micro/mini atx motherboard limitation. Very quiet and lots of room for fans 4 on the front 3 in the back. It also has filters on the fan intakes which keeps it super clean inside.

I also used this excellent case that can fit a lot of disks and a mATX motherboard in a relatively small form factor. It's in my living room, meaning the noise level is very quiet and the look passes the WAF test. Highly recommended case. :)

@DavidCastillaGil Жыл бұрын

I was thinking of upgrading my setup, but maybe I leave it like that for the next competition... I'm using shoe boxes as modular storage. I made tiny holes to pass cables from one to another, and also to allow air flow. Inside them, I use the bottom part of egg boxes, that way cables can run hidden underneath, and the devices stay separated from the ground and let air pass through. It looks stupid but it works...

My home Lab started off August 2021 with a Rasberry Pi running OMV for Plex. Then it turned into a Docker experiment. Then I got a 5800x to replace my 2600x for my desktop. Then I got 4 decomisioned PCs from my work. Now I've got an 2 Dell Opti-plex runnign, one i turned into my router, the other is Proxmox, My 2600x is running TrueNAS Scale w/10gbe to my deskto. My pi is still doing it's thing but now is pretty much and NFS Server with the OMV backup. This has been a rabbit hole over the last 6 months.

The Fractal Design Node 804 is a mATX case, not mITX. It’s got the eight 3.5” drive bays that you mentioned, and more: - space for a 3.5” drive and a 2.5” drive in the motherboard compartment. - behind the front cover it’s got space for two more 2.5” drives and a slim format DVD drive. All in a slightly less than one cubic foot.

Okay so the quad socket motherboard. They are very common (in Enterprise computing). AMD Opteron had them, AMD Epyx has them, and Intel 4K and 7K chips have them. I've got a Dell r910 with 4 x Intel Xeon E5-4680 v2 0 @40c/80t, 512GB, 2x128GB boot mirror, 0GB storage, 4x1Gbps, 2x10Gbps, 2x40Gbps networking. Dell, HP, IBM, Sun, SGI all have done quad mobos. They are normally used in Enterprise DB servers. I believe my r910 can go to 2TB if I wanted too. The PCIe Gen5 systems will (likely) be able to go to 24TB to 48TB of memory.

Always interesting to see what others are running for their labs - and what services they host out of them. My homelab is in a state of flux currently, mostly happening because I work from home and my wife and I are both night owls, so there's never a good time to do software updates on the single Opnsense VM I use for my router, or the proxmox host it lives on. Whole network overhaul happening in the coming months.

Stupid question on an old video. But what do you guys and girls actually use these devices for? I'm building a photo back-up, Plex server, but obviously for me a mini PC would do the job. What's the need for such HUGE devices? Not slagging, just curious.

@RaidOwl 5 ай бұрын

Usually you’ll want a bigger device for one of two reasons: space for more storage or space for more pcie expansion cards. For example, my main server has 12x hard drives, a full sized GPU, an nvme card, an hba card, and a 40gb NIC.
