My Homelab

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.

What’s the wattage like on that puppy?

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 :)

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.

That is a pretty nice setup.

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