My Tiny Rack

What about the noise?

i want one :O

Can I ask why you’re a fan of Drupal it’s fallen right off in favour over the last decade.

I don't have a rack at all... yet.

Nice rack

2.5 gbe switch
Two to three mini pc on one shelf
HDD to each mini pc on next shelf
Repeat until rack full or switch only has an uplink left

Wait...what are those blades? That's cool! I have a lot of small form factor stuff. I could use this on my desk.

I have a tiny rack, too! My favorite accessory for it is those silicone inserts that increase the capacity.

I want to move my main rig into that lol

Nice rack

Hey Jeff, I'm not sure if you'll read this, but I'm a bit curious. Im working on a software project designed to be scaled via docker containers and have no idea where to start with clustering / stress and load testing. Is something like this worth the invest for such a thing, or are there hosted alternatives you'd recommend? Thanks.

I need to get one of those for a Cisco Catalyst 6.509 wirh redindant soup or visor engines.

9" would be much better than 10", as you could mount two of them next to each other in a 19" rack.

Why is nobody talking about the fact that that looks like a Mac Pro?

The last time I said look at that tiny rack, I got slapped! 🥺

Windows

what about V-slots it is possible to make any dimensions and even re use parts from old 3d printer😊😉

Do a video on mini quantum pc

I need a way to mount 3.5inch HDDs in this

I'm not deep enough into computers to use racks but I am deep enough into synths... I'd probably stuff 6U with most of Tiptop's 909 clone modules and a few panning mixers, use the leftover 2U space for a Steppy and a handful of mults and attenuators, and jerry-rig all the I/O on the back, call it a drumsynth.

Omg! Someone remember the Drupal!)

It's a grower not a shower, eh? 😂😂💀

Porn. Heheheheh, you said "rack"

These comments are absolute gold lmao

I’d run three machines Ubuntu, Windows, and macOS in the same case with an HDMI switch.

I love this rack size. I just wish Ubiquiti made this size modules

its not the rack size that matters, but how you use it

I love the fact that we are living in an age that can be termed “post-mini-pc”, confirming Moore’s law.
Personal computers have became so tiny that anyone can have multiple of them inside a 80’s desktop-casing.
I personally think a startup that design these small server machines based on the user requirements and a customisable os that helps to run these machines will be the next best thing. 🎉

Small racks, medium racks, big racks. Doesnt matter i like them all.

Put a bunch of SBC's and try to merge them into a single virtual server. Then, I'd try running DeepSeek on that.

Can you easily stack 2 of them?

will it fit 40 orange pi 5's ? got some mining to do :)

I would never buy anything from Bestbuy

I'm in contact with them. Probably will make something deeper for Compute Blades :)

I hate you. Did networking base stuff for fun now and again. Started watching your videos again more recently because I kind of got addicted to server stuff recently and now I see this and want one really bad lol. Started doing home assistant on rasp pi 5 with nvme and ended up building a vpn and nas from the interest I have had (a whole lotta debugging tho).

Hmmmm….

Libre Software/GPL - NOT Open-Source, are you clear on that mate?

Its not small, it's average.

it's not always about the rack size it's about the personality

I want to make multiple computers work together on a single task and system is that a cluster? What software do i need and do you have any suggestions to help me teach myself?

This with multiple Maxxed out Framework Desktop boards, and there it is: a „cheap“ AI Cluster!

I like 10-in racks too man

I've got many small switches and servers. This is great!

What kind of app do you deploy?

nothing.... its junk

mini H100 of course

Way higher on the Wife Approval Factor. I count this as a win. I would hope there is a protectli like appliance to run OpnSense on, house the modem sideways, an eight port L3 switch, my Pi, my micro optiplex running Proxmox.

I want to do something actually quite similar to this. Using 4-6 Rpi 5's with a dual NVME hat as a storage cluster (8TB total, 4Tb for redundancy) and a small Celeron PC to run Plex and small server applications.

Planned on also using a POE switch, and possibly using a wireless HDMI transmitter and HDMI switch to transmit the screen of my choice to my projector. Making it a single entity for all my media, plus playback for the projector, and the flexibility of taking any of my computers, the pi's or the Celeron box and displaying them on my projector. All while being energy efficient 😁

I need this shit idk what I’d run but I need it

what do i even do with it aside from storage?
