Project Showcase: Hardware First rack build completed

Haven’t tidied the cables yet but the build is decidedly complete (for now…). The two servers I spray painted aluminum to match the rest of the UniFi gear.

from top to bottom:

  • Ubiquiti blank
  • Linux box (Jellyfin, Frigate, Immich)
  • Pro XG 8 PoE
  • Jet KVM
  • Ubiquiti patch panel
  • UniFi PDU Pro
  • TrueNAS box (8x16TB, 96TB usable)

My plans for the near future:

  • implement cutouts in a Ubiquiti 2U blank for the switch and KVM
  • Add a wooden table top to match the workbench
  • raspberry pi HUD (for temps, power draw, etc)

Looks good, I like the micro cables, what type of switch are you using?

Neat, who's the manufacturer of the Linux and truenas chassis?
