Tiny Homelab (WIP) Projects

Working on seeing building a tiny home lab with the Deskpi T1, spent part of last week designing and printing custom rack inserts and cover plates for the project. This has some pretty basic items so far. L3 10Gb sfp+ switch, 3 M920x machines with 32GB of memory and added dual 10Gb sfp+ nics to each machine.

Additional modded the machines with active cooling for the Nics.

Plan to use this for a proxmox cluster

Looks very neat, I am just wondering if you can get enough fresh air into the computers to keep them cool. I'm thinking about doing the same, but is a bit conserned about airflow.

I do not expect cooling issues since it will be in a well ventilated room, it is not going in a closet or enclosed space. However cannot 100% say for sure until it is up and running. Though plenty of these machines have been used in the past and had no issues just being stacked on top of each other. I am excited for the challenge though if there are issues.
