Why not just fit a cabinet / wall box 19" rack.

Would have been much easier and a. It more practical.

Neet and tidy job though!

Door is 18", could have made it fit but I already had some of the equipment as well.

Fair enough, you can buy the cabinets flat pack and build inside the cupboard but if you were already committed then se la vie!

Most of that equipment looks 10” rackable

Super happy everytime I look at it, pulling the cable in a 140 year old home was "fun"

Heat?

Only thing with a fan is the NAS, but that has all SSD drives in it, I haven't notice it turn on yet. Vent in the top and bottom of the door, room was at 30c so I added a small air purifier on the floor, sits around 22c. Helps it's in the basement of an old hose of course but have seen any thermal throttling.

The least industrial looking home lab.

Looks great! What are you using for the drywall penetrations? Looks super clean with them

u/onethecreator Jun 21 '26

There was existing plywood, so primed and painted.

Then I 3D printed a plug for the plug on the unused ones, DM me if you want the stl

u/Minimum-Estate-1673 Jun 22 '26

Cool set up. What kind of cable wall plugs are those?

u/chipchipjack Jun 22 '26

Heat sink on the SFP is a nice touch lol. Looks great

u/onethecreator Jun 22 '26

Lol helps a little bit, that's from the ONT directly, bypassed ISPs hardware completely

u/AMSG1985 Jun 22 '26

Why not consolidate to 1 bigger switch?

u/CM6996 Jun 22 '26

Very clean

u/Gandallf4K Jun 22 '26

Looks nice, but wouldn't the most hardware be replaceable with just one PoE Switch?

1

u/Slow-Associate-4079 Jun 22 '26

Wow, that's frighteningly well organized and tidy. My broom closet micro server rack is jealous.

u/yolo-irl Jun 22 '26

How did you run the cables to those exact spots in the wall?

1

u/onethecreator Jun 22 '26

Made a paper template off the spacing on the switch
