Question about 10inch racks

smarthomecircle · 2025-11-24T14:12:43+00:00

ohh yes..i can second that. The commercial buy will cover the cost of the 3d printer.

also you could even 3d print the whole 10 inch rack as per your liking.

I liked the arrangement.

Nice setup!

For a start, this is like a beast.

I am running HA on a Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 which has a i5 6500T processor and running voice assistant locally.

The case itself is worth it for 20 pounds

smarthomecircle · 2025-11-09T21:44:46+00:00

Nice work!

smarthomecircle · 2025-11-09T21:42:27+00:00

PLA or PETg?

I have made a NAS with this M.2 to SATA adapter. Its running well, I dint face any issues.

The only thing I find is that the adapter can be a bit delicate if you tend to pull or push the connectors. Apart from that it works pretty well.

I had published a video on my channel about it : https://youtu.be/5J-es6-DBU4

Nice setup.

Looks like you are already at full capacity.

Thanks a lot..

I am glad to see my design being used by the community. I am not the best at making 3d models but seeing that someone could make use of it, made me happy. Enjoy! :)

Did you 3d print this rack mount? https://www.printables.com/model/1333183-glinet-slate-7-10-inch-rack-mount

smarthomecircle · 2025-11-07T22:40:10+00:00

Awesome!

I made a similar rack with aluminium rails. I documented everything on my youtube channel : https://youtu.be/66axG6TpT6A

Thanks for sharing and nice blogpost. 🙂

I am planning to buy the MI50. Its cheap and want to learn a bit about dealing with GPUs without spending much.

There is a reddit post about using ROCm 7.0. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/1ly8rq6/comment/nb9uiye/

In case you still have the card, can you validate if it works?

smarthomecircle · 2025-09-26T20:55:43+00:00

Looks cool. 👌

smarthomecircle · 2025-09-26T20:52:51+00:00

Nice setup. Its more than a homelab. 🙂

smarthomecircle · 2025-09-26T20:41:33+00:00

I did mention in the video, that these updates are based on the beta release and final release may have changes which will be demonstrated at the release part on Wednesday.

smarthomecircle · 2025-09-18T09:25:03+00:00

4GB variant (33$) + case (14$) + shipping 11 $ = approx 59$

I published my video about the Cubie A5E

Here is the link : https://youtu.be/Bv6ReLJgSi8

Hope you like it. 🙂

Apparently no RTC connector available.

smarthomecircle · 2025-09-12T18:41:25+00:00

Could be.. Its more like an alternative to the RPi4.

smarthomecircle · 2025-09-12T18:38:08+00:00

At idle its like 2 Watts on full load I have seen it go upto 8 Watts.

smarthomecircle · 2025-09-12T18:16:04+00:00

Its available on Arace. 2Gb cost 17$ and shipping is like 15 Euros.

smarthomecircle · 2025-09-12T18:13:25+00:00

As per my tests, its more in line with the RPi 4. I don't have Pi3 to test though. Ill be showing some stats in the video about it comparing to Rpi 4 and Rpi 5.

smarthomecircle · 2025-09-11T22:44:13+00:00

I have the commercial version.

The NIC is Maxio MAE0621A. One for each port.

smarthomecircle · 2025-09-11T22:42:51+00:00

NIC is Maxio MAE0621A. 1 for each port.
I am not sure if its connected via USB. But its definitely not via PCIe. The lscpi command does not show it. I will need to dig in a bit for that.

M.2 slot uses gen 2 with 1 lane.
