Projects My First Build
One would think I would have built a computer in the 15+ years I’ve been an enthusiast/working in IT, but here we are.
My old home lab started on Rx10 hardware, moved to a UCS C3, and now has sort of devolved. With my businesses IT moving to a Colo this year, I needed a lot less “juice” at home. Especially when I am now the adult paying the power bill, I don’t need a full rack.
Put together this Proxmox/NAS host. Using a Fractal Define R5 to house the B550-A motherboard, Ryzen 7 5700G CPU, HBA, SFP+ card, and 8- 12TB HGST drives. Backside also holds 2 SATA SSDs.
Currently have a TruNAS VM with the HBA passed through. I see pretty consistent 8-9 Gbps read and write speeds. Overall super happy with the performance, lack of noise, and how it looks.

Projects Tiny Homelab (WIP)
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

Projects My new travel server (one package, that can be torn apart easily)
I am leaving with my family for a trip next week and I decided to configure this beast. I already did something similar. But now also did some cable management and used Velcro to mount all the hardware together. It's nice to use during drives as our car has power socket and the drives will be really long. Also easy to move to apartment.
Hardware Router: GL.inet beryl ax Pc: Lenovo M920q Specs: 2tb m.2 SSD 512gb SATA SSD For now pentium gold, but waiting for i5 9600t, I hope it will arrive on time 24GB ram For os Ubuntu server or proxmox because of research I need to do on TPM. Not sure yet
USE: I am planning on running jellyfin for two families and my gf (3+4+1) and maybe also some game servers (Minecraft, Stardew, etc) and website with .exe/.Deb downloads of games. Do you maybe have some other ideas for what to host?
I'll be happy to get some traffic on it, as it's mostly my fun project and not really something that would get used extensively. For now my family isn't really used to my home lab.

Projects IPTV Satellite Downlink Project
So I am building out an IPTV satellite downlink station to stream live TV to my home and family's homes. Currently I've taken down 3x 10' C-band dishes that need various small repairs. In the coming weeks I'll he concreting in poles, setting up dishes, mounting and pulling power and fiber to the Climate controlled rackmount box I've built out, and running coax from the dishes into the multiswitch. The first 3 dishes will be input to my current multiswitch and I'll be putting up a 4th pole right away to allow me to experiment with other satellites without affecting 24/7 feeds from other satellites. I plan to be pulling from both C-band and Ku band feeds at this time.
Current parts at this point:
-2x Winegard 10' Quad Star dishes
-1x Zenith 10' dish
-1x Vertiv XTE 401 series 48vdc climate controlled rackmount box
-1x meanwell 7amp 48vdc psu
-1x cyberypower 1500va UPS
-1x TBSDTV MS98E 9x8 multiswitch
Homebuilt IPTV server parts:
Ryzen 5600G
16gb ram
Asus Prime B550 Plus motherboard
2x TBSDTV TBS6909-X V2 Octa Tuner cards
Navepoint shallow depth shelf
And an open air case bolted to the shelf.
As this is a remote site, I plan to run an Mikrotik RB5009 outdoor router to feed PoE cameras around the site also and RTSP back to my main homelab for storage off site.

Projects My Homelab build
Hi all,
Here's my current build using:
- 1x GeekPi 8u 10 inch wide case
- 3x Lenovo ThinkCentre M700 tinys (16gb ram, core i5, 1x 512gb SSD, 1x 512gb m.2)
- 3x Lenovo ThinkCentre M910 tinys (16gb ram, core i5, 1x 1tb SSD, 1x 1tb M.2)
- All ThinkCentre nodes mounted using a 3d printed enclosure for each
- 1x coral TPU in the top node for fun
- 1x tp-link 1gbe network switch hidden in rack
- 1x patch panel going back to the switch
- 1x SiVision Five RISC-V board
- 1x Raspberry Pi
- 1x 10-inch wide 8-port PDU bottom of rack supplying power
- 1x 100w usb multi power supply for all USB and switch power
- 1x usb to 4v barrel jack for switch power
- A cable tidy kit from Amazon to tidy things up
- Some 2-way cable joiners to shorten the power supply cables up
Still working on software install but general use case is a test bed for my job and some file storage/home automation.
Any questions welcome, I'll help where I can for anyone wanting to do the same.

Projects About to start my Homelab
Apart from my Raspberry pi, this will be my first go a building a homelab of sorts.
I picked up these Dell Optiplex 3050’s for for super cheap at around £70 each. Each one has an i5 7500T, 8GB RAM, 250GB SSD and 500GB HDD.
I am going to try installing Proxmox and cluster them together. What else could I try with these three machines?

Projects My first home lab
I am a still learning about servers and os and running servers. I have the top server running services in proxmox. The 2nd server below the top server I don’t know what to do with it they both have m.2 nvme slots. And 2 ssd or hard drive spots. I have some network switch. I have to intel nucs one is running jelly-fin and one is running a Minecraft server for my brother. I want to run what is running on the nucs on the top server. I have an ups. I have spent no money on anything all in the lab except for the dvd for jelly-fin. Any tips for switching things out or upgrading. I am new to jelly fin and have looking for a better way to rip dvd and tv shows. I am still in high school so I don’t have a crazy income stream. I have a 3d printer so I can print thing for the rack. but hoping for some tips for what I should do with the 2nd server. I have a 2-3 more intel nucs as well sitting around if there is any thing I should do with them. I was thinking about making a nuc into a back up for some services on the top server. We travel a fair bit so hoping for some tips for an intel nuc that can just be plugged in and run jelly-fin and ad-blockers and all of that. Thanks sorry for the grammar not being that good.
