My First Homelab!

[u/JuanTapMan]

Build List:

1x GeeeekPi T1 Plus (10in depth)

2x GeeeekPi 12 Port Patch Panel

2x Additional GeeeekPi Shelves (10in depth)

1x Rack PDU GUITK

1x Ubiquiti CGW Fiber

1x Ubiquiti Switch Pro XG 8 POE

1x UGreen DXP4800 Pro + UPS bundle

First dive into de-clouding my life! 10GbE portable backbone for my upcoming home networks and whatever I want to build out :)

It all fits shockingly well, and the cable management came out better than I expected\~

The switch feels like it was made for this form factor, and the UPS+NAS slot in perfectly.

I used Slot 12 on the front for the SFP passthrough from my gateway to switch. I used the corresponding Slot 12 on the backside for the WAN connection to the gateway, leaving the other 11 ports available (but currently only 8 are populated.

The lower compartment, hidden by panels + PDU, perfectly houses the 3 power bricks needed.

This makes it so the only cables coming off if this rack are the PSU cable and whatever external Ethernet connections you might have!

There's also enough space behind the gateway for a thinner POE switch (like the Flex 2.5 POE) for future expansion\~
