@momurda haha same here

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.
-
Nice setup Nash!

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

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

Ok I'll say it. Nice rack.
I would love to have that! -
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.
-
I can get pics but mine pretty simply
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.

Here's my lab, tiny I know....
It's not the size of your lab that matters, it's how you use it...
