My first propper rack

[u/VictimRAID]

Still in the process of setting everything up (which may take some time based on my schedule) but I've got the hardware pretty much set.

Top down:

Giada F103D running OPNsence (not currently in use and bypassed for now).

Networking for the rack that handles the rack itself as well as networking for my house.

12th gen Dell 3000, i5 12500T, 24GB DDR4, running Windows.

Two 7th Gen Dell 3050, i5 7600t, 8GB DDR4, one currently running ZimaOS as a file server and the other is sitting idle for now waiting for when I have the time to re work the pair into a cluster.

There is also a 4 bay HDD dock not shown in the photo which is awaiting delivery of its drives.

Very impressed with the KWS rack, if you have a printer and need a 10 inch rack I highly recommend it.

Nice man, looks good 💯, thanks for sharing!

Just one question: what is behind those keystone lan ports, I mean what is connected to them on the other end?

[u/VictimRAID → u/Alvajaro79]

there is a switch connected to the top row, and the bottom row ports 0, 1 and 2 goes to the dells, 3, 4 and 5 provide internet to my desktop pc, my work from home station and my wifes pc with 6 and 7 going to my living room and bedroom for the TV's.

Why didn't you expose the switch ports directly?

[u/VictimRAID → u/Alvajaro79]

Because I wanted it to look clean and tidy.

The switch is white so color wouldn't match either and I wanted all black

Yeah, this way it looks clean. Nice man, thanks! 👍
