Hey All,
Since we're all posting our home racks I figured I'd jump in for some fun too!
Here's a link to the direct album
I got the full 42U rack off craigslist for $100 it's in very very good condition, came with keys to lock it too!
Add some super custom air filtration to the front, courtesy of Lowe's
And a few inlines with captions:
Very top is my 1U pfSense box
Down one is the back side of my Netgear GSM7224v1 24 port gige switch
Then we have my fileserver:
Next up is my housemates' fileserver
At the very bottom, can't see them in this photo but in the album you can, there are 2x APC SmartUPS 1000 that I rebuilt....got them on ebay for like $20 each (sans batteries)
I have two APC environmental monitors one in front of the rack (intake air temperature/humidity) and one behind the super custom airflow spacers (these can be viewed in the gallery above) for exhaust temperature/humidity
The back of the two APCs at the bottom and my custom floor board:
I definitely have to clean up the wiring...it's a mess! I just haven't gotten around to it yet
