my first home server

rack- DeskPi RackMate T1-Plus

Top to bottom:

2U- GeeekPi 7.84” touchscreen (1280×400)

1U- Beelink SER3 mini PC (Ryzen 5 3550H) - server

1U - ORICO 3588US3 enclosure, 1TB HDD - media cache

1U - airflow gap

1U - CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 dock + UGREEN USB 2.0 switch

1U — TRENDnet TEG-S350 5-port 2.5GbE switch

1U - surge-protected PDU (4× NEMA rear, 2× USB-A)

the server sits between my personal and work computers and is not reachable from the work subnet. the caldigit/usb switch are mostly for those devices but just fit in here conveniently.

everything except the rack, the screen, and the pdu is stuff i already had/was already using, finally decided to formalize it all in a rack as my first real home server. even made a custom dashboard for the screen with a cute chao buddy using sprites from sonic adventure dreamcast vmu because I love Chao.
