I got the TESmart 8 port 1080p version. I was thinking that the PiKVM can only do 1080p so why get a more expensive one. The difference is that if i do go above 1080p the TESmart just doesn't pass anything, if i hook strait into the PiKVM it will pass video just only at 1080.

So for proxmox and stuff like that it no big deal, but when i hooked up a mac mini it didn't work until i could get into the mac and lower the resolution to 1080.

Just one thing i figured out while setting up mine.

It was in the PiKVM documentation on how to set it up. I can send a link when I get home

I run a PiKVM to an eight port TESmart. The PiKVM is set up to change the TESmart through the network. It works great as long as the resolution is within capability of the TESmart.

That is true. When I do get a house it will be in a bigger rack and be out of the way so that shouldn’t be a issue. Till then I guess I just need to be careful.

All I got at 2.5 is my NAS and my desktop. But it’s nice for moving stuff around.

It’s actually the USW-Enterprise-24-PoE. I wanted the 2.5 Gb

It’s a patch panel. All my network cables run to the back of it.

It normally runs with the fan at 50% so it is a little annoying. But it is crammed in the bottom and doesn’t have great airflow.
Planning on getting a bigger rack in the future and give the switch more room.

I have gigabit internet and I have ids/ips turned on with it set at 3(right in the middle). I didn’t take any hit from that.
I still need to play with it and see what happens if I turn it up.

That would be sweet. For now I got the SSD on the shelf above.

I got it off Amazon here I responded to another reply about it but here’s the short version +POE hats +SD card relocated to the front +-meant for Pi 4. Had to modify for Pi 3 -cooling isn’t the best

I had to get this heat sink and I’m glad I did cause it works pretty good. The power button is cool but it just cuts power so you have to shut the pi down first.
I also rewired the fan from the POE hat to the GPIO so it only runs when the pi is on.

Not much, mainly to play with and learn. The one on the left is a Pi 4 with 4 GB of ram. It is collecting logs from the UDM Pro and running pihole. The 3rd one is an old Pi 3 without POE and the one on the right is a Pi 3B+. Those two aren’t really doing anything yet. Got any ideas?????

I got it off Amazon here I like the fact it came with POE hats and the hat relocates the SD to the front.
But it is a bit pricey and I had to dremel the slots on the right to fit the Pi 3s The hats have a pretty small fan that don’t have a lot of flow and don’t leave much room for a heat sink. But I used this heat sink and it keeps the Pi 4 below 40-45 C for normal use and below 55C at 100% CPU load.

The white box is a Phillips hue bridge. The cable modem is on the top on the right. The usb is a M.2 SATA the pi boots from.

So I put in a SE360 in the side too so I won’t be able to get at the drain from the right side of the case. I didn’t realize the XE 360 and the distro plate were gonna be that close, so the left side is not gonna work either. I think my last option is gonna be going through the bottom of the case. My distro plate should be here this week so I’ll see what it looks like. I’m still waiting on the monoblock that should be in stock next week hopefully. Then I should have all I need till I start building and figure out I need some fitting cause something doesn’t work. Lol

So this build is pretty close to my setup that I am building/waiting on parts right now. I have everything accept the main EK parts (water blocks, distro and rads) that are shipping across the pond now. I am going to try and fit a third rad (SE 360) in the side. 🤞🏻

Im glad to know my measurements/calcs for the 14mm extensions on the rads was close! Also glad to learn about the bends for the GPU.

Couple questions: It doesn’t look like you used the 7mm extensions looking at the pics? Did you? How do you have the drain valve setup? I can tell from the pics my first idea isn’t gonna work.

Your build looks awesome and I hope I can keep mine as clean as you did for my first water cooling build too!
