      My wife let me build special spaces for that in the basement or near the kitchen.

        @wirestyle22 You must be single! That is not Wife approved for a living room.

        We completely accept each others projects. If she wanted to make our bedroom hello kitty themed (which she never would) I'd be totally accepting. Our relationship is about sharing our lives together not getting what we want out of the other 😄

          Ok I'll say it. Nice rack.

            Bit boring but it's my lab and a backup server.
            From the left,

            Ubuntu Veeam repository (office backup server)
            Proxmox (KVM Hypervisor), Supermicro mb and E3-1230v2 cpu, 16gb ram
            FreeBSD 10, Intel mb and E3-1230v2 cpu, 8gb ram, main storage and Plex Jail
            Cases are Fractal Design except for the dell box.

            Hope to rebuild everything in the future so its rack mounted and with proper hotswap cases.

              @Adaministrator Yeah the meter hasn't started sounding like a jet engine yet. All told, based on the UPS readouts, I'm consuming about 900W ±50W. I at least get to expense the business related portion of all this power but it's still a good chunk of change to pay out each month.

                Rackmount HP switch and a UPS
                Whitelabel Xeon Quad Core, 16GB of ram and about 24TB Server 2012r2 (Windows box)
                As well as a HP DL120 G7 Quad core 32GB of ram XenServer (LinuxBox)

                  Thanks to Scott Alan Miller for pointing me here. My lab is mainly donated stuff from clients and my job. My boss gave me a HP Proliant ML110 G7 with 16GB RAM because he wanted me to practice for my certs. I got a sonicwall 210 and 205 from a client tossing them out. On my desk on the right under that hard drive is a cisco asa 5505 from another client. Just today I got a dell WYSE so I could try terminal server setups which you'll see on the left of that Mechanical keyboard. And next to that printer is an old dell desktop i pulled out of storage and updated to windows 10 so I could try that out. Right now I've got VMware 5.5 with ubuntu, server 2012 R2, windows 10 enterprise evaluation, sharepoint 2013, SCCM 2012 and exchange 2010. Just trying to strengthen my general windows knowledge at the moment

                            I got to see @Texkonc's new lab setup this weekend while we were hanging out at his new place.

                              It's not the size of your lab that matters, it's how you use it... 😛

                                  @travisdh1 I would prefer if you didn't refer to it as "floppy"...

                                  LOL and yes, its a very old system I took from work for messing around with. I actually need to pull it out and dispose of the entire server.

                                    The latest edition to my home lab has arrived. Almost enough to make a grown man cry

                                        @travisdh1 Now I just need to configure the drives and throw Xenserver on this thing and let it rip. 🙂

                                            I only have the NTG one now. All of the gear that I had was either moved there or retired. I'm not a hardware lab guy any more. It's all platform and higher these days.
