It should be doable, though I'm not sure if anyone has figured out the software side of things since you'd need to run an IPMI server and have everything hooked into that correctly.Still can't believe nobody found a simplier solution to this. It's just pwm, right, can't raspi be used for it? It has ethernet and linux onboard and waaay cheaper.
You don't need it, but it's nice to have an already-standardized protocol you can work with. If everything else in your homelab is using IPMI, it's nice to be able to manage everything with one client.why do you need IPMI not SNMP, SSH or any other thing of your choice?..
Fan control, power control, and nice to have for debuggingwhy do you need IPMI not SNMP, SSH or any other thing of your choice?..
Happy to pay market rates. Feel free to PM me your offerWhats your budget for the jbod board?
I might have two to sell in a couple weeks.
For the mounting plate i would recommend to just 3dprint sth (or let print if you dont have your own)
Wait, is it actually possible to power a mobo without a CPU/memory and use it as a jbod? I thought most motherboards wouldn't power on without a CPU/memory...I've never tried without really.Get a X9/X10SLM or similar without CPU and have IPMI, powered PCIe slots and full fan control. Cost on eBay around 25USD.
Do you have any pictures of the intertech cases customized? How did you do it? Did it require custom machining?yeah, not all mainboards, but most of the supermicro boards can do it.
Problem with this solution is that the mainboards take up a lot of space compared to the cb3.
I did several conversions of intertech mining cases and with the cb3, i am able to fit 50 disks easily with more space between the drives to keep temps and noise down, even with sth small like a micro atx i would loose at least the last two rows, which would bring that down to more like 35 disks with similar spacing and a lot of wasted space.
But yeah around 190€ each is not cheap.
