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.

    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 :)

    “We love detailed homelab builds, please put as much detail about your lab as possible and what you are using it for. Posts with just a few pictures and no context behind them will be removed. Detail can be posted as a reply to your own post.”

    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.

    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?

    I’m digging those displays at the top and the “everything” passthru panel. Slick, buddy!
