reviewing YOUR Home Servers!

So, not too long ago, I asked you guys So, not too long ago, I asked you guys to send over your home lab setups, to send over your home lab setups, to send over your home lab setups, pictures, short description, your name, pictures, short description, your name, pictures, short description, your name, that's about it. We are going to review that's about it. We are going to review that's about it. We are going to review those. And if you do like this video and those. And if you do like this video and those. And if you do like this video and you want yours featured in the next one, you want yours featured in the next one, you want yours featured in the next one, check out this email, send it over, and check out this email, send it over, and check out this email, send it over, and I'll try to throw it in next time. I'll try to throw it in next time. I'll try to throw it in next time. Before I cover your guys', which we have Before I cover your guys', which we have Before I cover your guys', which we have a good amount of submissions here, I am a good amount of submissions here, I am a good amount of submissions here, I am going to talk about mine in order of going to talk about mine in order of going to talk about mine in order of fairness because mine is not in its like fairness because mine is not in its like fairness because mine is not in its like complete form, but it's working and it complete form, but it's working and it complete form, but it's working and it is right over there. I have all my is right over there. I have all my is right over there. I have all my networking stuff in a pretty nice little networking stuff in a pretty nice little networking stuff in a pretty nice little 3D printed 10-in rack. It's modular. 3D printed 10-in rack. It's modular. 3D printed 10-in rack. It's modular. Super cool. I'll link to it down below. Super cool. I'll link to it down below. Super cool. I'll link to it down below. But I'm having to kind of custom print But I'm having to kind of custom print But I'm having to kind of custom print for some of these OMAD devices that I for some of these OMAD devices that I for some of these OMAD devices that I have. Particularly the router doesn't have. Particularly the router doesn't have. Particularly the router doesn't quite fit in there right kind of coming quite fit in there right kind of coming quite fit in there right kind of coming up with a solution to fix that. But we up with a solution to fix that. But we up with a solution to fix that. But we got the OMAD router. We have a OMAD 8 got the OMAD router. We have a OMAD 8 got the OMAD router. We have a OMAD 8 port switch with four of the ports being port switch with four of the ports being port switch with four of the ports being PoE. Those ports powering a Raspberry Pi PoE. Those ports powering a Raspberry Pi PoE. Those ports powering a Raspberry Pi which has the OMAD software in it. my which has the OMAD software in it. my which has the OMAD software in it. my Netbird agent and uh DNS tool for Netbird agent and uh DNS tool for Netbird agent and uh DNS tool for Cloudflare. Also up there on top of the Cloudflare. Also up there on top of the Cloudflare. Also up there on top of the rack, we have a OMA AP. We have a little rack, we have a OMA AP. We have a little rack, we have a OMA AP. We have a little box to manage a kind of I think it's box to manage a kind of I think it's box to manage a kind of I think it's Cassita uh smart switches and we have a Cassita uh smart switches and we have a Cassita uh smart switches and we have a Sonology NAS sitting there. That NAS is Sonology NAS sitting there. That NAS is Sonology NAS sitting there. That NAS is not going to be part of this setup. It's not going to be part of this setup. It's not going to be part of this setup. It's going to be an off-site backup solution going to be an off-site backup solution going to be an off-site backup solution with a Proxmox backup server on it. And with a Proxmox backup server on it. And with a Proxmox backup server on it. And then actually in the rack on top, we then actually in the rack on top, we then actually in the rack on top, we have a uh Riol link NVR. I generally have a uh Riol link NVR. I generally have a uh Riol link NVR. I generally wouldn't want to use that, but I got a wouldn't want to use that, but I got a wouldn't want to use that, but I got a good deal on that and like eight cameras good deal on that and like eight cameras good deal on that and like eight cameras that have to use the the um MVR to work.

that have to use the the um MVR to work. that have to use the the um MVR to work. Someday I'll go ahead and switch all Someday I'll go ahead and switch all Someday I'll go ahead and switch all those out. And then right under the MVR those out. And then right under the MVR those out. And then right under the MVR is my current Pride and Joy. It is a is my current Pride and Joy. It is a is my current Pride and Joy. It is a open NAS big server unit. It has rather open NAS big server unit. It has rather open NAS big server unit. It has rather impressive hardware. Uh big old impressive hardware. Uh big old impressive hardware. Uh big old motherboard for room for a bunch of motherboard for room for a bunch of motherboard for room for a bunch of different expansion slots. Has a really different expansion slots. Has a really different expansion slots. Has a really nice Intel CPU in it. I do owe them a nice Intel CPU in it. I do owe them a nice Intel CPU in it. I do owe them a review on it and do expect that coming review on it and do expect that coming review on it and do expect that coming soon on the channel. But I've been so soon on the channel. But I've been so soon on the channel. But I've been so busy trying to get through any dedicated busy trying to get through any dedicated busy trying to get through any dedicated sponsor videos cuz after like two more sponsor videos cuz after like two more sponsor videos cuz after like two more I'm done doing those. So, yay. Start a I'm done doing those. So, yay. Start a I'm done doing those. So, yay. Start a job at Net Bird which is really cool. job at Net Bird which is really cool. job at Net Bird which is really cool. But I mean the OpenS they're going to But I mean the OpenS they're going to But I mean the OpenS they're going to start selling the case soon which even start selling the case soon which even start selling the case soon which even that alone is awesome. This one here has that alone is awesome. This one here has that alone is awesome. This one here has 12 hard drive bays and basically like a 12 hard drive bays and basically like a 12 hard drive bays and basically like a midtower size computer sitting on top of midtower size computer sitting on top of midtower size computer sitting on top of it on its side with a full motherboard. it on its side with a full motherboard. it on its side with a full motherboard. I have it's it's not the best GPU, but I I have it's it's not the best GPU, but I I have it's it's not the best GPU, but I have a uh 580 um AMD GPU in it just to have a uh 580 um AMD GPU in it just to have a uh 580 um AMD GPU in it just to give my uh Windows virtual machine a give my uh Windows virtual machine a give my uh Windows virtual machine a little bit more power. I definitely need little bit more power. I definitely need little bit more power. I definitely need more RAM for it. I got Proxmox on it more RAM for it. I got Proxmox on it more RAM for it. I got Proxmox on it just running bare. It is awesome. Under just running bare. It is awesome. Under just running bare. It is awesome. Under that, I have a trip light UPS that has that, I have a trip light UPS that has that, I have a trip light UPS that has definitely saved me a few times. The one definitely saved me a few times. The one definitely saved me a few times. The one I have is a bit more than I actually I have is a bit more than I actually I have is a bit more than I actually need, but it goes like 40 minutes if the need, but it goes like 40 minutes if the need, but it goes like 40 minutes if the power goes out, so that's nice. And then power goes out, so that's nice. And then power goes out, so that's nice. And then I have a a system set up where machines I have a a system set up where machines I have a a system set up where machines start shutting down slowly as the start shutting down slowly as the start shutting down slowly as the battery drains. It's a good deal. And battery drains. It's a good deal. And battery drains. It's a good deal. And then that that's about it. You can tell then that that's about it. You can tell then that that's about it. You can tell it's still a mess. The whole point of it's still a mess. The whole point of it's still a mess. The whole point of this home labbing stuff is learning, this home labbing stuff is learning, this home labbing stuff is learning, trial, error, playing around. And if you trial, error, playing around. And if you trial, error, playing around. And if you are interested in learning, you should are interested in learning, you should are interested in learning, you should probably check out our sponsor, probably check out our sponsor, probably check out our sponsor, Brilliant. Brilliant is an app right Brilliant. Brilliant is an app right Brilliant. Brilliant is an app right here that I actually fire up quite a

here that I actually fire up quite a here that I actually fire up quite a bit. I try to launch and use this bit. I try to launch and use this bit. I try to launch and use this instead of like doom scrolling Instagram instead of like doom scrolling Instagram instead of like doom scrolling Instagram or something like that. There's a bunch or something like that. There's a bunch or something like that. There's a bunch of different courses for math, computer of different courses for math, computer of different courses for math, computer science, data science, logic, science, data science, logic, science, data science, logic, technology, and so forth. It's kind of technology, and so forth. It's kind of technology, and so forth. It's kind of like gamified learning. You can see all like gamified learning. You can see all like gamified learning. You can see all of the various courses or little lessons of the various courses or little lessons of the various courses or little lessons that I've gotten through and it's really that I've gotten through and it's really that I've gotten through and it's really cool. It has a lot of practice so I'm cool. It has a lot of practice so I'm cool. It has a lot of practice so I'm able to refine my knowledge as I able to refine my knowledge as I able to refine my knowledge as I progress and it will get into things progress and it will get into things progress and it will get into things like if else statements, learning like if else statements, learning like if else statements, learning Python, bunch of stuff. It has been Python, bunch of stuff. It has been Python, bunch of stuff. It has been helping me get just a little bit smarter helping me get just a little bit smarter helping me get just a little bit smarter every single day. Like I said, each every single day. Like I said, each every single day. Like I said, each lesson is filled with hands-on problem lesson is filled with hands-on problem lesson is filled with hands-on problem solving that let you play with various solving that let you play with various solving that let you play with various concepts. A method that has proven to be concepts. A method that has proven to be concepts.
