As my kids want their own rooms in the future I’ll need to downsize a bit. Is there a list for recommended 10” Equipment? Any help appreciated. My research so far turned always in the direction of get rack bars and a 3D printer ( or shops selling the 3d prints)

Jeff Geerling put together a list of a lot of 10" Hardware: Project MINI RACK

Well I never particularly cared for his videos before, but I’m gonna make damn sure I never click on another one after doing some reading on this. Thanks for sharing

That’s new information for me, and a quick web search doesn’t bring up anything to that end (other than him being Christian, and I don’t find that problematic on its own). What did I miss?
Edit: Nevermind, I just found his blog. I mean, everything related to politics and religion is from more than 10 years ago, but… yikes. That’s a shame, I really like his videos.

Reddit == Evil, but if you’re looking for ideas there’s an entire subreddit dedicated to this. Tons of ideas, links to 3d prints, and more:

Yeah, they have a great wiki, it’s how I found my stuff.
A (friend with a) 3D printer is essential. Stuff is fucking expensive on Etsy etc.

What a horrible thing to suggest.
Sell them and use the money for more equipment.
24 daysI believe raised beds for kids have a lot of space beneath them for putting servers. Just make sure they can’t pull the plugs 😜

Digitus has a lot to offer for 10" Racks. I use a lot of their Basic stuff for my Racks. AS a Server I am a fan of Mini-PC’s. They are (imho) good enough for SOHO users. For storage an off the shelf NAS is small enough to fit inside the Rack. I did not find a good option yet for a TrueNAS solution (maybe one of the NAS solutions where you flash your own operating system?).
From my 10" homelab:
- Enclosing: Digitus 10" 9HE Wandgehäuse. But today I would get the 12HE version of it (my Homelab expanded beyond the available space)
- Patchfield: Digitus 10" 12 Port LSA Patchpanel Weiß. There are also keystone version if you prefer them. I did go for this because it is cheaper and I only need RJ45.
- Power connector: DIGITUS 10 Zoll Steckdosenleiste. it has 4 sockjets and a switch. I am using 2 of them.
- Shelfs for Servers, etc.: Digitus 10" Fachboden. I use them to keep my Mini-PC’s and router in the Rack.
- Router: Draytek Vigor2927 it just fits on a shelf and all Ports are accessible. It is connected to a Fibre-Modem, so it just being a router is good enough for me.
- Switch: ALLNET Switch smart managed 16 Port Gigabit. Unfortunately I could not find an option including PoE (that is reasonably priced…) so I went for this managed Switch and an extra PoE Switch.
- PoE Switch: YuanLey 11 Port Gigabit PoE Switch, 8 PoE+ Port 1000 Mbit/s, 2 Gigabit Uplink, 1 SFP Port, 120W 802.3af/at. It is not directly obvious from the product page. But the 2 included Rackmount ears work for a 10" Rack.
- Mini-PC as Server: HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Desktop-Mini-PC . You can get these on the used market for cheap. Look if you can find one with an i5-8500T (KabyLake architecture). These chips have very good Transcoding qualities (Quicksync)
- NAS: I use a Synology DS-918+. It fits on a shelf isnide the Rack. but due to Space limitations (9HE instead of 12HE) it is now stacked on top of my Rack.
I don’t know where you are located. So maybe you need to check if these are available to you.

I’m having trouble translating how big your cabinet is …… given the list of equipment similar to yours (nas, switch, router, ports), how many mini-pc’s fit?
- sakphul@discuss.tchncs.deEnglish19 days
My cabinet currently is 9HE high and it can fit 2 mini-pc’s easily and all the rest. Just the NAS does not fit into it. For that I would need at least 12HE.
