At least this wasn't the infamous "My humble homelab" video where the person has more gear than a good portion of smaller businesses with 4 fully filled racks sitting in their own climate controlled room.
Love these kind of videos! Cool to hear about your journey - where you've been, where you are, and where you think you're headed. Makes my inner project manager happy
Great video! Nicely explained what it is about. A lot of gear to play with, I'm jealous. Only thing that is strange is referring to Storage Array as SAN. It can be a part of a SAN but without fiber-channel backbone it is just regular server, even you mentioned what is a SAN in showing DELL server, separate network just for storage. And 3D pritner farm ... now I'm super jealous.
I had other GPU machines that I was renting out on Vast, but the power cost was to high to keep it going. After power, i was making like $100/mo and it wasn't worth the hassle.
Well I would say downsizing is a good idea. LOL That is a neat set up for sure. I went through that several years ago. I have access to clients discarded rack servers too. Our boneyard has dozens of old servers in it. What I learned after paying some absurd electric bills is that it was kind of silly for me to have that much stuff. So what is my home lab now? A Lenovo mini pc with a 2Tb SSD drive and Proxmox. Now I'm not doing any crypto mining so I get why you would want high end equipment for that. But for just experimenting with new configurations it works perfectly and my electric bill is much happier.
Great video. Gave me some great ideas on what to look for and what I want to do. I'm not so much a network guy , just a miner that wants to get into more AI stuff and diversify myself and gear. Thanks again for the video!!!
I live in California. Power rates are awful. I’ve downsized my home lab into Intel NUCs and raspberry pi5. Footprint reduce tremendously along with power consumption.
Overkill? Nah, I have a 3u patch panel and at least 3 switches in my rack. Through in a few 4u or 5u cases, pdu and you are done. It is surprisingly easy to fill up the whole 42u rack :-) You need a pull-out KVM console in that rack, though.
I've never used TP link. Is TP good. I would think with all the $$ in graphics cards you could afford 1,000$ in Unifi equipment. A couple switches, AP and UDM pro
@@davidweinknecht9713 I got a new Unifi dream router and a couple used access points for $300. Yes the 24 and 48 port switches are expensive but almost everything else is reasonable.
DUDE...... RESPECT, talk about OLD SCHOOL...... All I's got in comparison is a ubiquiti System with managed Level 2 switches and 48TB Synology DS423+ non ECC NAS, naaah I dont do Crypto, I am lookin at getting an APC UPS, by the way man your UPS link goes to motorcycle gloves on amazon.
Your content is way too high for the most GPU miners i'm afraid lol Amazing batcave though, hat-off to you man, living the dreaming over there 🔥🚀 Have a great weekend and keep on extreme geekitude lol
No proper router with intrusion protection and Geographical blocking? But makes sense, added to the fact that you need Windows for your crypto wallets.
