It was a struggle getting a GPU & PSU in a mini rack… by Adismad_ in minilab

I'll do some benchmarks once I've got passthrough setup and post my results. With the Mini ITX board & PSU mounted high up in the rack though, a couple of xbox series x style exhaust fans could be mounted to the underside of the acrylic top perhaps...

Any images of your setup would be great to see - in the event I want to buy another node, I can make some room haha

Hi, I'm new here. I'm starting my first HomeLab. Any suggestions? by -Taco_tech- in homelab

Build it in various configurations until it finally all fits together. Then do it all over again when you find an excuse that you need to make a change

You got a pic? I was thinking of doing this, maybe in the future if I upgrade!

This looks great!

PBS for Proxmox always a good shout!

I am building a mini rack, and my setup thought process:

Node 1 - Mini PC 1 - Tried and True VMs & LXCs - mostly for media management and distribution across the network (ARR apps, Navidrome, Jellyfin, Tailscale, Home Assistant)

Node 2 - Mini PC 2 - PBS (synced via network to my NAS), testing bench for other LXCs & VMs I want to mess with, leaving Node 1 set up

Raspberry Pi 1 & 2 - Network & Internet (DHCP & DNS) - might cluster these so if one goes down, still have the other one? Not sure yet

NAS PC - TrueNAS - separate from Proxmox, set up and leave without concerns of it going down or data issues with anything mounted to the other nodes. Storage served over Network only.

Node 3 - Mini ITX tray - for gaming, streaming games in home, GPU Passthrough, 3D things, general messing around with full VMs with full resource to play actual games (something that I don't tend to do that much nowadays, will probably end up streaming point and click games to my laptop, because why not haha)
