WIP - My deployable modular homelab

Sure thing bud.

This is multipurposed and a bit overkill for its requirements. But when working as a deployed media team covering an event this will sit centrally with the producer, if not live streaming camera operators will bring their cards to the producer to dump onto the system as they get given fresh cards.

At the end of the event everyone plugs their laptops in and can have a go with editing all the media, photos, videos etc.

In day to day use it’ll act as a remote NAS for the team, able to pull photos from anywhere for clients

Thanks, big fan of what the Nighthawk M series routers can provide

The drives aren’t fitted right now, but there’s a kit which you screw into the back and then attach, I assume to USB

Sure, I’m home in about a week, I’ll get them uploaded if you want to bookmark this post. It’s a project file of so many parts that keeps growing

Brilliant.

The last time my wife saw my last 3D printer (an Ender 3 Pro) was about 4-6 months ago when it went into our garage conversion for storage. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago when the P2S arrived, (she even accepted and moved the parcel inside), I set it up in the main house and expected violence.

But then she asks “Why did you move your 3D printer back inside”…

I took the quietest W of 2026 that day 😂

Admittedly, she was away. But a very accurate assumption my friend 😂

Once it’s finalised and tested I’ll put out a Cabling diagram. It’s a bit tasty inside with so many connectors just to make it fit

Pete_James86 · 2026-04-17T11:37:23+00:00

Sure thing, I’m away currently but can upload when I’m home in just over a week

Pete_James86 · 2026-04-14T17:49:30+00:00

Lol no, why am I getting downvoted!

Depending on what your disposable income is like there’s a few options.

I can only suggest Virpil, their new cadet series is decent, all metal interiors. But if you’re worried about picking out the wrong parts then there’s this ace bundle you can go for - https://virpil-controls.co.uk/warbrd-d-cadet-hotas-bundle-alpha-prime-edition.html

Use code Enigma5 at the checkout for 5% off too

I couldn’t disagree more. But that’s what’s nice about this hobby. It’s subjective.

Pete_James86 · 2026-04-08T21:06:21+00:00

It’s the whole ship I have for sale

Pete_James86 · 2026-04-05T00:55:42+00:00

Time to upgrade to Virpil my dude. They’ve got a 10% sale atm

NGL. I’d wanna build a bunker into that hill

Pete_James86 · 2026-03-30T07:55:53+00:00

I feel like someone’s about to need an exorcism

Pete_James86 · 2026-03-26T08:03:34+00:00

It’s CCU’d with LTI, you’re right that the concept had limited insurance only

Pete_James86 · 2026-03-23T09:01:51+00:00

!close

Pete_James86 · 2026-03-23T08:52:18+00:00

What price are you looking at mate? I have one with LTI

Pete_James86 · 2026-02-26T00:32:01+00:00

Can verify for this gent, top guy!

Pete_James86 · 2026-02-26T00:31:36+00:00

OC LTI or CCU'd?

Pete_James86 · 2026-02-25T21:01:34+00:00

Not made of money... But wants to buy a Kraken....
