a bunch of ebay specials with more ebay parts scavenged over time + some 3d printing.

The centre tower has a miniitx mb and PSU behind those panels to run the NAS, and the drive bays are in the bottom.

The right is a failover cluster that isn't finished yet.

That's a very tiny, dense lab!

i'm not utilising it nearly as much as i should which is why i haven't gotten around to the failover cluster yet.

[-] linuxguy@piefed.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Same here wrt utilization. I've excess capacity and can't seem to find anything I want to use it on.

Slick for ebay parts. The 3d printed extras are sharp.

Wow, that looks really good! I like the labels on each server! Are the 3d printed parts custom or did you find them online?

[-] Senal@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Custom printed.

The front rack grills, keystone panels and thinkcentre mounts are from a website but all the other printed parts are custom.
