Main ISP is fiber, house is part of HOA that has cable internet included, so that is my failover.

Main is 2gbps symmetrical

Failover is 300 down, 10 up

 

Hey all. Currently have my small lab in my office. It ain't much but it already makes my office hea tup to like 80-81 degrees when I am also gaming on my PC, which is uncomfortable for sure.

I am in Florida, and I have some space in my garage. I don't wanna just put it in there, so I am considering getting a 5x5 grow tent, or maybe 9x5, and put a dual tube 12000 btu ac in there.

My lab hovers at about only 320 watts, at least for now. But my gaming PC is also there as well. I kinda wanna run it all in this rack, and use USB/HDMI over fiber back to my office (like Linus). I figure if I go the 5x9 tent, I can have space to sit in the tent when I need the console for something and ssh for some reason isn't working. Peak wattage currently is like 900w with the possibility of growing

So, using a dual tube ac, intake from garage, exhaust to outdoors, maybe through attic soffits.

Would this work, or am I missing something?

Hmm maybe so. My gaming PC is currently a 5950x. Maybe I lll repurpose that and get a better pure gaming cpu.

The problem with that though is only limited to 128GB RAM. My r720 has that, and since I'm using heavy zfs on everything I kinda will need more eventually

 

Hey all. So I am currently running a r720 (8x3.5 variant), rpi4, and my router is on a antsle fanless box. All 10GB except the rpi of course.

I recently moved into a new house and space is limited and hd to put my rack in my office. Well, my office now gets up to 82 degrees and I can't stand it. The main culprit for heat is the r720.

So for this reason I am considering going to a 3-4 mini cluster.

But, I still want ample 3.5" storage. How are you guys who are running minis, also doing storage? Jbod enclosures?
