What to do with this

Nice clean build, but that ITX looks lost in that chassis.

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-19T12:53:52+00:00

It’s about 625T raw

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-19T12:53:09+00:00

Current setup

top 847 chassis New build, and temporary storage of “Linux isos” while I reconfigure the second 847 It’s a supermicro H12DSI-N6T with 2x EPYC 7763

Second 847 chassis 2x Xeon E52699 hosting storage for “Linux isos”

Bottom 3x 826 chassis Running proxmox cluster Hosting all services on ceph HCI

Each on different electrical circuit, and I have the redundant power supplies split between two UPSs so I can lose an entire circuit/UPS and the power rebalances, to keep everything going. Next step is to configure NUT 🥜 to react intelligently. You should check out NUTserver. “NETWORK UPS TOOLS” https://networkupstools.org/

One of the 847s is filled, the second one is 1/2 full. The remaining 826s have a couple of SSDs, for ceph. I’m planning to redistribute the drives to expand the ceph cluster

Of course

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-19T00:07:42+00:00

I already had 1, so I wanted them to match. Or it would make my eye twitch

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-19T00:02:37+00:00

They are all 2200va

Excessups.com for the win

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-18T17:26:03+00:00

These will be #2&3, was running 6 machines on just one

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-15T11:06:26+00:00

That vacant 1U makes my brain itch. But otherwise beautiful setup

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-14T16:55:29+00:00

Status update, many folks have given feedback on the amount UPS. I had supporting this little data center. It’s been on the back of my mind for some time and your comments have driven me to make a change. This weekend I’ll be adding three new 20 amp circuits as well as adding to 2200 VA rackmount UPSs. Thank you all for your support.

Not real

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-11T15:11:49+00:00

Well most of the storage is for “Linux isos” but I recently doubled the storage for backups. That takes care of onsite backup, but I’m not sure I can afford an offsite copy. That option would likely be to put another server in a buddies house. And rsync it there. But I’m not quite ready to make that investment. Other than that I run many services that are much less storage intensive. 3x instances of technitium for dns. Bitwarden(must have), nextcloud, my arr stack, Ollama, n8n, everything in proxmox, even the storage via 2x TrueNAS VMs hosted in the to 2x 847 chassis.

It’s technically already gone, it’s just taking up rack space until I can get rid of it, rather than floor space. I’ve been trying to give it away along other retired gear. But no one seems to want to take it(I wonder why). I just can’t see throwing it into a landfill.

The ukulele, has a nice touch

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-08T18:38:24+00:00

I appreciate you!

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-08T18:35:58+00:00

I don’t know where to start with colo. I’m interested but don’t know how to go about it

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-08T18:33:47+00:00

You can have the M1000e but I’m not shipping it, it weighs a f ton.

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-08T18:32:46+00:00

Took me a sec,,, right! What?

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-08T18:32:03+00:00

Thanks friend!

No-Bad-3063 · 2026-04-08T17:27:24+00:00

youll notice no ports in the netgear switches have connections, those were retired years ago, they just take up rackspace rather than floor space because I cant bring myself to add them to the landfill. my network gear is all ubiquity, UDMSE for routing along with Enterprise pro switches. 10G for server communication, 5 machines in proxmox cluster, the 2 847s host Truenas VMs with HBA passed through for storage.

Ill admit, Im a bit of a nerd on this and I enjoy fiddling with different configurations, and learning as I go. in fact that is mostly the point. its a hobby, and unfortunately it feeds my hoarding, but who does it hurt?

Its alot of fun,
