HPR4215: My home lab

3 servers, a Mac
Mini, and some old networking kit

Lee talks about building a home lab consisting of several servers and

some networking equipment.

The home lab on Reddit: 3_servers_a_mac_mini_and_some_old_networking_kit

Rack is limited to 30cm deep due to closet dimensions. All three

server cases have been modded in one way or another (most drastic was
the DVR, cut down from 40cm deep with an angle-grinder). To save money /
energy, the DVR is the only one always on, except in winter when I can
justify the others heating the apartment.

The (fairly obsolete) Cisco Router and old WiFi broadband router

together can provide a Wireless LAN filtered with an IP deny list.
