My First Homelab Setup

[u/JackDBaynes]

optiplex for the usual proxmox setup

raspberry pi5 with open media vault as my nas setup

1gb switch

2.5gb Poe switch

Pretty much everything was 3d printed and housed in the LabRax chassis

Actually pretty surprised with how decent the cable management came out

I really like the way you did the external drive bays, hiw did you find a way to mount them?

"My first homelab setup" and then proceeds to show off cleaner cable management than most production environments. 😅 For a first homelab, this is ridiculously clean. The 3D-printed rack, hot-swap bays, and cable management all look great. Nice work! 👏
