      My "Home Lab" right now is a Vultr account. Really is cheaper than paying for the power, and I don't want to listen to something else when it gets hot in my tiny efficiency apartment. My desktop at home was custom built with an eye to keeping it quiet, even during the summer. (Lots of large fans and a temperature based fan controller.)

        Are those RAM sticks tiny? otherwise why so many?

        Because I can? 😄 The price of 72GB versus 48GB was negligible at the time of purchase so I went ahead and went with the larger amount and had them populate all the slots.

        negligible? as in $20? or $200?

        Less than $30 at the time I purchased it., the seller on ebay actually put the components I wanted together in a bundle for me and agreed on the price.

        aww, well in that case, awesome!

                        And so Begins the new lab setup. Picked this rack up but it's too shallow for my Dell rails. I'm either going to keep the posts as they are and lengthen the depth, or just use the posts and create some sort of hybrid metal/ wood rack. Any excuse to break out the welder and power tools.

                            Well, most of it is equipment so old I wouldn't put in a production environment anymore. Still, great home/play setup.

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

                                      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 😄

                                          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.
