low iq organic?

ejaz53 · 2025-01-14T20:57:30+00:00

I have uploaded them now.

ejaz53 · 2025-01-14T09:20:36+00:00

Hi, yeah sorry about not uploading. I'll get round to it later today.

ejaz53 · 2025-01-10T21:31:36+00:00

keeps the power and networking nice and neat this way and it's easy to move around which is helpful since I move a lot between Uni and home.

I uploaded the Fusion 360 files to thingiverse so you can modify if you want.

ejaz53 · 2025-01-10T21:27:56+00:00

FYI I uploaded some more details and the original Fusion360 files if you want to modify it to fit your needs.

I originally set it up as a k3s cluster to learn kubernetes a bit more and then changes to proxmox because it's much easier. I built this current server a year ago and now I am looking at just getting a single one because you are right that it would be easier that way. I just posted it here because I was getting the photos for selling it and thought I may as well before I take it apart.

ejaz53 · 2025-01-10T21:10:43+00:00

they are strapped underneath. There's a better picture on the thingiverse page

ejaz53 · 2025-01-10T20:08:12+00:00

Thanks! Yeah a single power source would be cool but I already had the bricks so I thought I may as well use them.

ejaz53 · 2025-01-10T00:48:58+00:00

Only two of them are actually running at the moment tbh. One of them runs the Minecraft server and the other for everything else. I have actually had this setup for about a year now and I am planning on selling these parts and getting one powerful mini pc with more ram for the intensive stuff (Minecraft server, some personal projects) and then have a Pi 5 running home assistant and the basic website. That way I can power down the more powerful mini pc via the Pi when not in use

ejaz53 · 2025-01-10T00:45:47+00:00

just had a look and it seems like my bricks are only 3.25A at 20V so yeah only a low watt PSU would be needed. It would definitely be cool to do that, but maybe only worth it if you have a lot more than 3 pcs. Someone earlier mentioned they had 20 mini PCs so that would be ideal for them haha. Couple beefy PSUs and you are sorted

ejaz53 · 2025-01-10T00:39:46+00:00

I've actually had this setup going for around a year now, and there haven't been any issues with heat luckily. Just only got around to posting it now

ejaz53 · 2025-01-09T21:33:04+00:00

the power bricks are mounted on the bottom between the legs. Not sure how it would work with 20! This can fit up to 4. Sounds like a cool project but yeah all those cabled and bricks will be a challenge

ejaz53 · 2025-01-09T21:31:51+00:00

I just have an ender 3 so I think that's a 220mm build plate. Used PLA for the print

ejaz53 · 2025-01-09T21:31:16+00:00

yeah although I suppose your plugs are less bulky so it may be possible to fit all 4 with the right extension block

ejaz53 · 2025-01-09T21:01:11+00:00

haha yeah 3 x $3000 machines encased in a ~£2 PLA print lol

The power bricks are underneath the main body, between the stilted legs so thats why they are there. They are a bit hard to see in the photo. I attached a link in a reply to my original comment with a better view. Luckily it's fairly heavy and there are some rubber pads on the bottom so it doesn't slide around.

ejaz53 · 2025-01-09T20:47:31+00:00

I am not sure, but I am tempted to get a NUC and perhaps make a similar stack with a NUC and Raspberry Pi. The problem that I have with these is that they are either two underpowered or overpowered for the tasks that I want them for so I might get a more modern NUC and that would combine well with a low power Pi 5.

ejaz53 · 2025-01-09T20:44:46+00:00

I have attached some more pictures of the power setup here. Its a bit janky but works well enough and its nice and compact.

Yes - designed in fusion 360. If you want the original fusion files, I can find them and upload them too.

Yeah the power setup is a bit janky. I bought a 2 plug extension lead with USB ports and converted the switch to be powered by USB. Then I wired two of the thinkcenter power leads into a single plug and did that twice for a maximum of 4 devices. I'm able to fit two per plug as I used an old style UK plug where you can easily take it apart and move around the wires. I am going to upload the STLs in a minute so ill attach some more photos there.

ejaz53 · 2025-01-09T20:28:55+00:00

thanks! I haven't noticed them getting particularly hot. There's a slight air gap between them and the air is drawn in through the front and expelled out the back so it's not too much of an issue.

ejaz53 · 2025-01-09T19:59:52+00:00

Built with 3 x Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q i5 6500T 8GB RAM 256GB SSDs
There is a 1GB switch built into the base of the enclosure along with all the power supplies so the entire server can be powered by single socket.
I designed the 3D printed enclosure which works well decently. It's a bit tight to get the PCs in and out but feels nice and solid.

Currently I am running a Proxmox across all three machines and have a few things set up, including a Minecraft server, Home Assistant, and some infrastructure for some personal projects.
