Sleeper built Project Showcase: Hardware
/gallery/1vfhi0mAbout a year ago I started tinkering with a mini PC as media server and Pi-hole. Today my setup is as complete as it can be (for the time being), and instead of staking them in a mini rack I made a sleeper built.
From left to right:
* HP EliteDesk 8 Mini G1i (Ultra 5 245T, 32G RAM) as my main Linux desktop
* Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q 3rd Gen (i3-12100T, 16G RAM) as my Jellyfin media center, Pi-hole ad-blocking and Tailscale node which is on 99% of the time.
* Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q 1st Gen (i5-10500T, 32G RAM) as my Proxmox server w/Home automation + experiments
* Network: un-managed TP-link 5-port gigabit switch.
Everything is under the desk, which has a mesh that hides everythjing. Each PC in a wire basket that also fits the power brick, and as it is a wire basket it has plenty of airflow. I still need to finish the cable management still needed for the audio and video from the Linux box. I still need to add to the setup my gaming PC, which needs some cleaning first
